ABSTRACT:
A system (and method) for selecting an entry from a list of entries on an electronic device is disclosed. The system is configured to display a plurality of banks to a user and to receive a bank selection event from the user for selecting a bank containing a set of characters. The user creates a bank selection event through an input device such as a navigation device or touch screen. The set of characters is appended to a prefix that is used to determine a current result list containing entries that match the prefix. The list of entries is reduced to the current result list and displayed to the user with the portions of the entries matching the prefix highlighted. After the list of entries is reduced to a desired size, the user enters a scrolling mode where the user scrolls through the list of entries and selects an entry.
