Google style search (hint as you type) Example available?

[BjörnJu]

Has anyone implemented a search box like for instance the one on
google
in lift?
What I'm referring to is a way to create a drop down box of suggested
popular searchs given the input so far tapped into a form.

Has anyone seen any good pattern (or even example) on how
to implement this in lift?
(Thought I'd avoid reinventing the wheel)

Thanks!! // Bjorn

Thanks David and Timothy!

You seem to suggest two different approaches (JqSHtml vs AutoCompletre
widget),
any opinion on recommended approach, pros/cons?

As a side note, I couldn't find JqSHtml.autocomplete (used in the demo
Davod
points to) in the documentation or code,
probably a total newbie error, where should I look?

Looks like the JqSHtml stuff is deprecated.  Use the AutoComplete widget.
