automatic searching foods using 3 digits

it should be useful in my opinion having the possibility to search foods typing 3 or 4 digits instead of typing the whole name. Sometimes I cannot remember the completed name and this feature could be nice to add.

You can do this in the phone/tablet app: Type in any letters that are adjacent in the food name, and it will bring up matches from your recent/frequent foods. For example, typing "ppl" brings up apples and organic dried pineapple (among other things) from my recent foods.
Can't do it on the web with recent/frequent foods, though, even though partial names work when you search the full database there.0
