If I don't remember wrong ido-mode should do something like this.
It does for files and some time ago it was also working for commands for
me, or maybe it was another packaged that I disabled in the meanwhile.

Often here http://emacswiki.org/ there are a lot of infos

Attaching another question, why (I think) C-h a doesn't display all the
possible commands/variable/functions with a particular string inside,
but just some of them?

Thanks
