Hi Mike, I think what you are looking for has been implemented on current apple.com site. The moment you do enter a 'keyword(s)', a search result panel appears below with a list of possible matches categorized by products/support/etc.

Is this possible: * user types into input field * "search results" appear below field as they type, each w/a button ("vote" or whatever terminology they're expecting); short text above these lines re: "we found these similar ideas" etc... *below input field (above 'search results) is a "use this" (or...) button for the user's idea. Since "suggestions" aren't as controlled as keywords, autocompleting sentences might lead to user frustration. Better, if feasible, to allow them to control the input field but offer, as described above, suggestions for similar idea. Implementation - that's another matter! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
