Background info: We are adding a feature to our site that allows you to view member company profiles and things they have to offer, normally users can find a big list of all things offered but this will allow them to check in on their favorite member companies.

Question: The problem is there are over 500 companies, we are giving an option to click on Companies A-f and so on to see a list of these companies so you can see everyone, but that's somewhat cumbersome - what we really want in addition is a search box where you type in a partial name and it automatically populates its results below. Not the standard 'type the phrase and hit enter' but something you can partially type and it automatically displays without hitting enter.. I'm sure I have seen this before somewhere but cant think of an example.

If you know what this is or involves can you point me in the right direction? Normally I can find anything I need with a Google search but Im not sure how to phrase this to find what Im looking for. :confused:

Something like Search-as-you-Type (http://code.google.com/p/search-as-you-type/)?
