Default behavior for typeahead feature is exact match (R5.0.3)

The typeahead feature in R5 releases would display an ambiguous names dialog when the user pressed a delimiter and the typeahead completed name was a subset of another name. For example:

2. The typeahead feature completes the name as "John Foo".

3. The user hits a delimiter such as a comma (","), Enter, or F9.

4. An ambiguous names dialog appears containing "John Foo" and "John Foobar".

The new behavior eliminates the ambiguous names dialog and accepts the completed name if it is a unique exact match. The only instance when an ambiguous names dialog will appear is when the typeahead completed name is found in multiple organizations. For example:

2. The typeahead feature completes the name as "John Foo".

3. The presses a delimiter such as a comma (","), Enter, or F9.

4. An ambiguous names dialog appears containing "John Foo/CompanyA" and "John Foo/CompanyB".

The typeahead feature behavior can be reverted to the pre-5.0.3 behavior by setting the NOTES.INI variable "TypeaheadDoExactMatch" to 0.
