They are also called quick fields, and smart fields as well as fast fields. Different programs have different names. When you start to type in the surname box, all the previous things you have typed come up so if you have typed it in before, you just choose from a drop down list instead of retyping every time. It also makes it easy to be sure you have the names in the same order each time.

To my knowledge, RW & Ancestry doesn't have quick / smart / or fast fields for the surname box. Just regular old typing.
