+Subject: [PATCH] Hack snippets chooser to use autocomplete
+
+Users wanted to have partial search when Contacts are selected by the
+Chooser. The Chooser doesn't have the feature to use partial matches and
+our postgres_search doesn't support it in its search() method anyway.
+Try to get away with changing the Chooserd to use autocomplete().
