Word-wheel

Just come from another group where it was suggested that Microsoft invented the term 'word wheel', 'word-wheel' or wordwheel' to describe an on-screen database search interface as described at http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/word-wheeling .
Does anyone know when and where the term first appeared?

In the Unix/Linux world there is something like that called "incremental-search".
