For a better autocomplete experience in Bash (and other programs that use the readline library) I can recommend that you put some of the following in ~/.inputrc:

    set editing-mode vi # if you're a fan of VI-style editors
    set visible-stats on
    set colored-stats on
    set show-all-if-ambiguous on
    set completion-ignore-case on
    set colored-completion-prefix on
    set completion-prefix-display-length 1
    set menu-complete-display-prefix on
    tab: menu-complete
    "\e\t": menu-complete-backward
    "\e[Z": menu-complete-backward
