yep jquery is the way to go here, cfinput autosuggest embeds all the values in the HTML, not ideal.
here's the plugin i use -- http://docs.jquery.com/Plugins/autocomplete i would also suggest loading the contents via an ajax request which in turn returns values from a structure or an array if it doesnt change that often, so you dont have to run a query in the background on every keyup. all the best.
