I'm positive there is a plugin out there that does this.

Typing "abed" doesn't get any results but it should because there is "Jonathan Abed". Also I think it tries to filter too quickly. Since it's a bit slow (I don't know if that can be rememedied through improved code), don't filter on each keypress (which it seems to be doing). Instead, have it wait for 500ms or so after each keypress to capture the next one before filtering starts. Chris.
