Jeff, It depends on how you want to display the information. The basic functionality of typing in and filtering is a combination of "autosuggest" and then an output rendering. Have you tried the AJAX tutorials by Ben Forta?

This is a combination of using cfgrid and dynamic filtering. Dan Vega has some good blog posts about using cfgrid. http://www.danvega.org/blog/ Teddy R.
