When you return the results of the search, also return the results that will populate your dropdown. If the select for the dropdown is contained in the fields of the table you are returning you could build it using a distinct select with query of queries.
Then use a simply ajax call on the select event of the dropdrown to refresh your search result. It's not a simple process, but it's not extremely complete either. You could also do this without ajax with a simple form submit if you don't care about the page refreshing.
