There is no built-in way and I do not know of an existing plugin, but you can try googling for one.

Failing that, see:

:help 'completefunc'
:help 'omnifunc'

and related help links, to make your own completion plugin.

The plugin neocomplcache has some options to handle wildcard and even
fuzzy completion.  You have also the fuzzy finder plugin to quickly open
files and location.

Probably. What kind of auto completion do you need? Have you searched at
vim.org for omni-completion?
