search a jquery autocomplete plugin

Question

User enters tag in the textbox. The textbox is a live search as the user types it brings up suggester results based on the tags already in the system, simiral to stackoverflow tag input :) Tags are separated by commas, so when a user selects a result from the livwe search, it automatically populates the text and a trailing comma

does anybody know such plugin?

Answer 1

Just for completeness' sake, maybe you will like the original standalone jQuery autocompleter plugin that is still around (and actively developed):

Answer 2

This is the original JQuery autocomplete plugin before it was moved to JQueryUI. If you are looking to serve just JQuery but not JQueryUI, use this one.

Answer 3

jquery 1.4.x and jqueryui 1.8.x now support a built in autocomplete

The results must be formatted as a json array coming back from your script

There is also another popular one here: http://www.devbridge.com/projects/autocomplete/jquery/

Answer 4

Autocomplete is now part of jQuery UI 1.8.
