Would love to have an autocomplete feature when entering keywords in Bridge via typing. I have keywords setup to check, but sometimes it's a hunt and peck. Typing names can lead to misspelling. If a name is in the keyword list autocomplete would be amazing!

The File > File Info option has auto-complete for text previously entered into this window, just like Photoshop.

The Keywords panel does have a search field.

Thank you. I did notice that in terms of each photo going into the file info. I am talking about the area under the IPTC Core drop down. This is the area where I can tag photos quickly … I do have names set up under the drop down, but it is hunt and peck.

For Keywords/Subject metadata, the Keywords panel is intended for fast tagging of multiple keywords from a library:

That being said, I can see that if you are using the Metadata panel, that you would like to have the same ability as found in the less convenient File > File Info window:

This auto-complete behaviour would of course make any metadata entry easier, not just keywords which have their own dedicated panel. You have my vote!
