No tab press is needed by default. Also, there's no "auto-completion".
Auto-completion where the first completion is inserted on the query
line. I doesn't do that: I don't like it. The default behaviour is
"auto-show completions", where the list of completions is generated
automatically, but nothing is done beyond that. It is possible to
configure Ion to use the old "tab completion" model too.

You know, there's a reason for the note on caching in the README.
Not that it takes _that_ long on my system without it, but too 
long to be comfortable. In any case, you want to experiment with
ion-completeman (in $SHAREDIR).

'man grep'. Also check the scripts repository.
