Using nifty ‘Google Suggest’-style search-pages
The new Google Suggest site rocks, I have always thought. Hence while implementing one of those boring search-pages all over again, I thought – why not come up with a stylish auto-suggest interface? The next three articles will be a primer on how to implement this.

How to implement what and where ?
If you use Firefox and the extension Customize Google you get Google Suggest from the normal Google search page

Yes, Firefox rocks. Unfortunately IE is still the standard at the organization I work for.
My intention was to implement a ‘Google-Suggest’-style search page, where entries would auto-suggest as the users keys in letters. For example, if the user were doing a search based on project-code, as the user types in the search-key into the textbox dynamic lookups would be made to a project-code view and entries matching the user’s search string would be displayed – as Google-Suggest does.
