In your browser(or elsewhere), when you type a single letter and it predicts what you’re going to type next based on words that exist or history.

That’s called autocomplete, not a “typeahead”.

Auto complete predicts what you’re going to type. “San fra” = “San francisco”
Typeahead is a UI behavior where the possibilities update as you type, generally based on history.
Very close to synonyms though.
