We're playing semantic leapfrog here, but I don't see the proposed Ajax solution as "searching", I see it as "autocompleting"; people won't use it to discover content, they will use it as a shortcut for accessing content that they are familiar with. As I said, much of the utility of the raw_id_fields popup is that it allows content discovery, which is an important use case—not all admin users will be perfectly familiar with the content.
I am in full favor of an Ajax autocomplete widget (which, as I said, already exists in the admin-ui branch), but do not want it to replace raw_id_fields; their uses cases are completely disparate.
