question regarding CLI Tab-search

[Matt Cahill]

Hello,

  So, to my amazement, somebody finally revealed to me that I can find the 
names of files on my system by entering the first digits and then hitting Tab 
twice (using an xconsole at least).  What is the name of this feature?  I'd 
love to read up more about it (for example, why I can find apps as root but 
not as user and how I would change such settings) before I post questions 
here.  I'm a little surprised that I wasn't aware of it before now...

  Many thanks,

  Matt
