Sounds like expected behavior; can you describe what you think should be different?

Expected behaviors:

(1) When the dropdown box is not appearing: Enter == Go
(2) When the dropdown box is appearing but no item is highlighted: Enter == Go
(3) When the "contains..." item is highlighted: Enter == Fulltext search

This is what I want (maybe not the original coder's idea):

(4) When the dropdown box is appearing and a suggested item is highlighted: the item is in the search box, with the part which is not typed by user highlighted, Enter == Go
