Don, You do it using ajax (referred to as 'auto-suggest'). There many different ways on how you can do it.
One implementation is by using CF with jQuery. Check-out the following: http://www.dyve.net/jquery/?autocomplete http://jquery.bassistance.de/autocomplete/demo/ Most auto-suggest is done by simply looking up a corresponding field lookup to a database field record. But you can get real fancy with the query depending on what you need. Example: when you type in: Harrison Ford- it'll return the titles of his movies- that kind of thing.
