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
