the first one or more characters

[Milan Davidovic <shl_ctf -at- yahoo -dot- ca>]

Imagine a search field. You can type in the first n
characters (n = 1 character or more, up to the full
name), click Search, and the system returns results
based on whatever you entered.

The instruction "Enter one or more characters" almost
expresses this idea, though I can imagine someone
entering a string that doesn't include the first
character. "Enter the first one or more characters"
seems closer, though clunky.

What ways of expressing this instruction are you
familiar with?
