Showing real time result in textbox in asp.net

I'm developing a website (ASP.net) which involves users typing in a textbox to search. I want to display result in the textbox as they are typing the keywords (just like when we are searching on Google).

How can I do this?

Thanks

What you ask is called autocomplete and since you are working on asp.net the most easy direct solution is the use of asp.net ajax control toolkit

http://www.asp.net/ajaxLibrary/AjaxControlToolkitSampleSite/AutoComplete/AutoComplete.aspx

How ever if you use some other javascript helper library, like jQuery, you can find a lot more examples, one of them : jQuery Autocomplete and ASP.NET

Also if you search for "autocomplete asp.net" you find more examples, some of them:
