The attribute search is a wider field for customizations. The provided functionality is quite generic, but it is always a bit difficult to keep things generic and flexible and straightforward.
You can extract the values from the dbase file via the DBF functions of PHP. Would be somewhat easier/faster for PostGIS layers. Or you can use an AJAX approach like for GOOGLE Suggest (mainly for PostGIS). But in all these cases you will probably have to define the settings explicetly for each layer where you want these kind of special functionality.
