AutoComplete doesn't search the entire document. It searches only the column
your typing in and it only searchs so many rows above where you are typing.
Also, empty cells in the column will affect how many rows above it searches.

AutoComplete will search only upto the first blank cell (in both directions)
in the Column...

You may enter something like zzzDeleteThisLater in the blank cells, complete
your entry and then remove them (search and replace with nothing) once you
are done.

To enter in all blank cells at once...
select the range, press F5, choose Special then Blanks
Type what you want and press CTRL-ENTER
