I may be missing some subtlety here, but it sounds like you are looking for a
jQuery (Javascript) autocomplete script with an AJAX back end. This would load
the vocabulary in the background, typically starting at page load.
This works fine as long as the vocabulary is of a reasonable size. If
jQuery UI comes with an autocomplete module that you can supply a source to

I've heard of using Redis, some cron-job-initiated indexing, and a fast service
layer to populate it quickly enough that you can't tell it's

In case people hadn't seen this, at ALA Annual last week I launched a
Kickstarter for the development of LibraryBox 2.0 (http://librarybox.us),
and open source fork of the PirateBox project. I had originally budgeted
for $3K for the Kickstarter, hoping to make a bit more than that in order
to pay
We typically feed services like this from a cached text file, which is quite
quick. Unless you need a lookup, redis would be overkill.
If you are communicating a lookup in an autocomplete process, I would like to
see that in action.

It has been great to see this kickstarter blowup.
Given the increase in funds are there new enhancements or functionalities
that that you can discuss beyond the original road map?
I'm really looking forward to where the project will go.

I'm working on the timeline with the developer now, and will have an update
in the next day or so on the Kickstarter page. But we're definitely
covering the promised functionality, and pushing it to be as good as
possible. For instance: the current draft of the 2.0 installation is:

I still don't understand how this project differs from PirateBox.
What features are you adding in your fork? What has been added to your
fork over PirateBox in the current release, and what do you plan to add
that differs from PirateBox in the 2.0 release you are funding? And why

If this is not web-based, and you're using Windows, you may find AutoIt
(http://www.autoitscript.com/site/) to be an excellent macro scripting app (and
it's free). I'm not sure what kind of performance you'd get if it has to scan
