So, after I type "ffe" and press TAB, it should look through names and
codes at the same time, and present completion candidates for both at
the same time, for example I'll get "￪ ffea" and "GIRAFFE FACE" in the
same window above?

Because, if yes, then user may get a lot of results, as it was pointed
out before.
