Bad idea - too prone to error, typos, and varying interpretations on how a
name should be entered (like full name, acronym, abbreviated). The net
result is a potential for variations which would make searching more
awkward, since the searcher would have to try and second-guess the
variations and typos.

Afreed, but in many cases it may be necessary to have a menu with
'other' in it and a type in field for the 'other's.
