I am making an app (asp.net/c#) that will autosuggest a couple fields that users type in. Each user will end up building their own auto-suggest list. Every time they add an item, if it's a new word, it will get added to their list of auto-suggests, just like gmail. I was wondering how most people go about this? Making a call to the s...

We have a textbox that the user enters sets of terms into, delimited by commas and separated by newlines. There may be thousands of valid terms, so we'd like to offer the user intellisense-style suggestions as they type. The default autocomplete isn't adequate because it will only do prefix-matching on the entire textbox, and won't sup...

I have the following requirement: - I have many (say 1 million) values (names). The user will type a search string. I don't expect the user to spell the names correctly. So, I want to make kind of Google "Did you mean". This will list all the possible values from my datastore. There is a similar but not same question here. This did no...

So foobar would get a list like [f, fo, foo, foob, fooba, foobar]. The use...
