The behaviour you are referring to is sometimes called fuzzy searching. It's that used in Atom, Sublime Text, Intellij IDEA and, I think, Bracket.

In NetBeans, for Java sources, you get by default prefix filtering of the completion list. You can however enable subword filtering where the typed characters are matched everywhere in the completion proposals. Referring to your screenshots, by activating subword completion you would have got the first two completion items for "charset".

To enable it recall the Options dialog (menu Tools > Options) then in the Editor section select the Code Completion tab. Choose Java in the Language combobox and select the Subword completion checkbox. Finally click the OK button.
