Description
When using autocomplete with a token, once the token is entered into the input/text field, all possible results (up to whatever limit was set) get returned and displayed in the drop down/up menu. Then at that point, the user has the option to narrow the search by continuing to type.
However, when not using a token, the only way to get any results at all is to start typing something that the user wants to match. I have a use case where I need all possible results (up to some limit) to display as soon as the user focuses on the the input/text field. Is this possible via some kind of configuration?

Research direction
No file or test is named. Start by tracing the autocomplete focus and input-handling entry points, then inspect how token-based matching and result limits are configured. Done means focusing a tokenless input can display the available results up to the configured limit, while continued typing still narrows them.
