This isn't an Archetypes widget (yet) and it doesn't yet use AJAX in the released version, but the UberSelectionWidget aims to give you a search-based interface to this kind of thing. We already have a (Zope 3 style) vocabulary (which you can use in Archetypes as of Plone 3, just give its name in the vocabulary_factory option) that enables you to find users by searching. If you look at borg.project or oi.plum (both in the collective) you'll see this in action for selecting users that are members of a project.
