LinkedIn-Style Search Feature & Functionality in jquery+ajax

I would like to implement a search box in my website that is similar/identical to that used on LinkedIn i.e. category search, auto-complete dropdown, etc. I would like this to be jquery + ajax based.

Is their any code available for a LinkedIn-type search feature? If not, does anyone have good advise on how to re-create this serach functionality?

Thanks

There is a JQuery Autocomplete Plugin (Sorry, I am only allowed to post one link, search in Google for "JQuery Autocomplete Plugin")

There were already similar questions posted in Stackoverflow, which might help you: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/188442/whats-a-good-ajax-autocomplete-plugin-for-jquery

The LinkedIn search is more than just an auto-complete solution. I see it as a combination of autocomplete (containing text and images by category) and an associated category criteria dropdown to focus the search. It also has to fetch data on the fly.
