ido (Interactive Do) provides enhanced mini-buffer completion, try
evaluating the following

  (require 'ido)
  (ido-mode t)

then executing some simple commands which include mini-buffer completion
(find-file, describe-function, etc...).  I find it very useful.

| ;; Interactive substring matching
| ;; ------------------------------
| ;;
| ;; As you type in a substring, the list of buffers or files currently
| ;; matching the substring are displayed as you type.  The list is
| ;; ordered so that the most recent buffers or files visited come at
| ;; the start of the list.
| ;;
| ;; The buffer or file at the start of the list will be the one visited
| ;; when you press RETURN.  By typing more of the substring, the list is
| ;; narrowed down so that gradually the buffer or file you want will be
| ;; at the top of the list.  Alternatively, you can use C-s and C-r (or
| ;; the right and left arrow keys) to rotate buffer or file names in the
| ;; list until the one you want is at the top of the list.
| ;;
| ;; Completion is also available so that you can see what is common to
| ;; all of the matching buffers or files as you type.
