10 Auto Complete Ajax Scripts
In 2005 when Google implemented Google Suggest, Ajax took off. Every web developer was trying to duplicate what Google accomplished. Its now 2008 and there are tons of ways to accomplish Google Suggest. Below is a list of 10 Auto Complete Scripts with various frameworks. The list below is in no particular order.
- jqac – Is jQuery plugin for autocomplete. jqac is very easy to implement and has a scrollable suggests list. It also allows for multiple suggests support and is tested in all major browsers.
- AutoComplete (for Prototype) – This is a script built for the prototype framework and it allows multiple column support. It also is a very nice style built with it.
- YUI Autocomplete – This script is built with the Yahoo! UI Library. The AutoComplete features navigation of the suggestion box via up/down arrow keys. It is very easy to configure with the Yahoo! UI Library.
- AJAX autocomplete – Is built with Easy Ajax framework by Jim Roos. It features the the up and down navigation and is fairly easy to implement.
- Another AutoComplete (prototype) - This prototype framework autocomplete also uses scriptaculous. It has a nice fade in effect when the suggest box appears. It is easy to implement and works with XML data.
- AutoComplete (mootools) - A MooTools Autocomplete widget that creates a unobtrusive and customizable suggestion box from variable data sources. It also has nice fade in effect.
- dhtmlxCombo – Is a different from the rest of these. dhtmlxCombo can be used in four modes: an editable select box, a read-only select box, a filter drop down box, and an autocomplete. It also allows for you to add icons to your drop down boxes.
- AutoSuggest – This AutoSuggest script uses no frameworks. The script allows you to navigate either with the up or down arrows or just click. The script size is under 10k, it even has a fade in effect, and a great 2.0 style.
- Spry Auto Suggest – This Auto Suggest script is written with Adobe’s spry framework. It has works with all sorts of data formats and languages. It supports keyboard navigation and also allows for multiple suggestions.
- ASP.Net AutoComplete – This script allows you to add AutoComplete to ASP.Net without using a webservice. This is a great way to add Autocomplete feature to ASP.net

hi,
We provide a FREE auto-complete to websites and display relevant ad in the bottom of the suggestion window (we rev-share 50:50).
Our system learns your site’s search pattern which make your auto-complete dynamic.
you can see an example of our service at lyrics.com – start type a query in the search box to see PredictAd suggestions window comes to life.
Check our website at http://www.prdictad.com for more info or contact me directly at: tal [at] predictad [dot] com
Thank you a lot, just what I need for my dictionary project I am currently working on
I got autosuggest framework to work on our drink recipes site, http://www.drinksuniverse.com check it out
I wrote my own Autocomplete subsystem,
when used to work for NCBI. Currently used in the pubmed search engine.
You can see demo on the my own site:
http://olegh.ath.cx:5701/autocomplete.html
Distinctive features:
– Can work with huge dictionaries, 10+ million records is OK.
– Very efficient. My demo works on the old machine Celeron300,
and consumes less than 1% CPU.
– Allows dynamic translation, and search not only from begin of phrase. For example, you you search “york”, my autocomplete can
suggest you “New-York”, while Google – can not, it searches only from begin of the string.
thanks a lot, i’m gonna use the protoype option…

Hey guys. Hope you are well? Need some urgent advice? I have 2 issues that I need to resolve as soon as (but am useless at coding):
1) I need to create a local website search facility script (with auto complete)for a website that I am creating, that will ONLY search for the name of a html file in a specific folder (Results must then open a full html page)?
I need to also create a tabbed text box (fixed size 800 x 400) that I can scroll down using arrows (not scroll bar)that hide all text ‘below’ the fixed 400px container area?
Do you guys know how I can get through this or get the scripts somewhere without losing my mind??
i have a 1 question…
Q. can we integrate this script with virtual keyboard???
if yes than tell me how can i do this???
Terrific article! That is the kind of information that are
supposed to be shared around the internet. Disgrace
on Google for now not positioning this post upper! Come on over
and consult with my web site . Thanks =)
