hello one and all,

this is not web2py directly, but you'all have great advice.

say i have 10,000 customers/clients and i don't want to dump them into a 
select/option input and force the end user to sift through all of those to 
pick the right client.  i would rather have a child popup window with say 3 
search inputs to allow the end user to enter 1 to 3 values into those 
search inputs and have a query button which goes out to the web2py 
controller and pulls only those clients based on the combination of the 1 
to 3 search inputs.  the popup shows that subquery list of clients in a 
nice much shorter table.  the user can then click on the link/button next 
to the one client they want to choose and pass that result back to the 
parent window to store it in a input variable for when they finally finish 
the form and hit submit.

i would like to do it with the native web2py/jQuery libraries we currently 
use in web2py v2.12 or v2.13 for maintenance and simplicity.  so what is 
the best and most simple method to do this?

thanx in advance, lucas
