Record Picker in Grid Edit

Has anyone found a way to improve how the record picker works in grid edit?

Say you are looking for the item that starts with CDV, When you type C it takes you to the beginning of the "C's" in the list and then when you hit D it jumps to the "D's" and so forth.  When even using the default record picker in a form it doesn't have that behavior.  I also tried creating a form for Grid Edit with a report for the picker and still reverts to single letter picking. 

Any ideas would be appreciated!

    I find you have to be very fast to get to include a second or third character. So CDV would need to be entered all together very fast to jump to that entry... but it is possible.

    You are correct that you can't set a report to use for the record picker in Grid Edit or make it behave like forms where it searches the list. That may change when they release the new "Spreadsheet Edit" functionality (to eventually replace Grid Edit), but that isn't available yet. More on it should be shared at Empower at the end of the month.
