Possibility to narrow suggestions

[GoogleCodeExporter]

When typing words the suggested matches in the dictionary are quite liberal in 
what they match, which causes the interesting matches to scroll off-screen.

Example:
When starting to type the Swedish word "kanske", still after typing four 
characters ("kans") the word isn't shown on the first suggestion page. Instead 
it looks like this:
  page1: Ians Jans kams kana
  page2: känd lans läns låns 
  page3: låns kanske kansli

As can be seen there are many matches that assume we haven't spelled correctly. 
If instead assuming that we are spelling correctly, and have written the first 
characters of the word, we would instead have the word on the first page:
  page1: kanske kansli

It would be great to have this stricter matching policy available, possibly as 
an option.

Indeed this should be an option, because I have the opposite opinion (which 
isn't granted either :-/)

E.g. in danish, when I try to type "hel", but accidentally type "hek", it 
suggest "helt" as 1st priority. "hel" is all over as 4th priority!
And that's even with 2nd and 3rd suggestions also starting with "hel" (hele, 
heller)...

So I would like a "prefer corrections" over "prefer prediction" (and over 
"whatever the logic is today" [1.4.3] :-) )
