there are two common features that should help you get it done: suggestion
and autocomplete. A suggestion feature will show you some common searched

database records containing the typed text.

These features are implemented in JavaScript, as they are related to the
data representation _logic_  so it has nothing to do with special keywords
on inputs.

more of it, I think you can google it ;-)
