There is a lot of overlap.
I think a good solution would be to show an exact id match at the top
of the list (and also make the ids visible.) Then if I enter say
'sinzui' I'll just need to press enter or click one more time to
confirm it. On the other hand if I type 'mark' meaning ~sabdfl, I'll
get the chance to confirm that I don't mean ~mark.
