#D8CX: I pledge that Views Autocomplete Filters will have a full Drupal 8 release on the day that Drupal 8 is released

#1604690: Seeking co-maintainer(s) for drupal6 versions

Tips & Tricks:

• To work as you wish you have to make the right choice for the operator of filter field, most likely to use "Contains"
