Hi Matt, We have one a similar thing for one of our applications, so it's definitely possible. The left hand section of the suggest box provides your highlighted search terms, and the right hand side provides detailed preview information about the selected item, and is heavily customised through css.
The general approach is to *unfortunately* copy and paste SuggestBox and all it's related classes into your own package in the com.google.gwt.user.client package, due to the package protected nature of the existing api and final classes. You can then add all your functionality desired into your custom version. We found that we have to extend it in quite a few places to make it usable enough for clients. I know of one public enhanced suggestbox which is code.google.com/p/ kiyaa and you can look at the related commercial project clarityaccounting which is quite impressive for a demo of how they work. I am not sure if the same information applies to 1.6 as we haven't upgraded yet.
