I did this with a local mySQL database a little while back and it worked a peach. I had a little delay timer going so that if the user typed another character within a certain time frame the counter would reset. Once the user stopped typing for a small length of time, *then* the query would trigger. What I didn't do was the look and feel part. THAT I need to incorporate. Very cool.

I couldn't resist trying this using an SQLite database instead of the preloaded data. I created a database with one table named Places with one column named Data that holds the preloaded data, then imported the preloaded data into it. The script changes were pretty minimal, just open the database at startup, then instead of the filter command: put revDataFromQuery(,,gDBID,"SELECT Data FROM Places WHERE Data LIKE :1 ORDER BY Data","tSearch") tSearch is the variable that holds the search string with "%" signs either after or before/after depending on the wildcard setting. The query takes an average of around 15 msecs vs the filter command taking perhaps 2msecs but neither time is noticeable to a user.
