I think the emacs manual could be improved here. "future history" should be in the index (currently only "future history for file names" is) pointing to the Minibuffer History node where it is defined. Also perhaps "minibuffer suggestions", "minibuffer input suggestions" or some equivalents could be indexed to point to the same place to aid in people learning about this still little-known "wow!" feature. -- Howard
