I find my typing habit often is: type a prefix (to bring up autocomp), enter acronym for the remaining parts, (if choice is still "far") enter suffix.

I guess I can see that, but how about making the inexact matches lowest priority. So an ordering like

exact match (ordered by position of first matching char, then alphabetical)
exact abbreviation match (ordered by position of first matching char, then alphabetical)
inexact matches (ordered by position of first matching char, then alphabetical)

Agree and me too.
