Search Results In Dropdown Below Textbox Like Google (ASP) - c#

When someone starts typing in the search-textbox, there must popup a ''dropbox'' below the textbox with the found items. Like Google.
I need this for an ASP.NET (aspx) site, can anyone suggest me something like this?
I really don't know where to begin with this.
Thanks.

You'll need to know how to set up/work with a web service, but after that it's pretty darned simple.

Implement jQuery autocomplete with funny buttons

In an web application using MVC4, c# and Razor, there is a cool searchbox functionality that I need to implement.
It has 3 stages:
type 3 characters and search for result
select result from autocomplete list
present result as a funny removable object
Here are images:
I know I can implement steps 1 and 2 by using jquery autocomplete:
http://jqueryui.com/autocomplete/#remote
However, I have no idea on how to do step 3.
The web application is in my possession, but since the code is not commented nor is it properly refactored, I have no idea on how to replicate this functionality, nor do I know where to look for it in the code.
Can someone help me?
After checking on ChrFin's suggestion I made a search on my own and found select2:
http://plugins.jquery.com/select2/
The project is currently using this, so I am going to keep it and give it a whirl.
In the meantime, ChrFin's suggestion should also be mentioned:

Thanks for the help!

Do you know a free Lookup control for MVC 3?

I would like to include into my project a lookup control. Example of this control here :
But I'm a simple student, and so I'm very poor :)
So do you know a free control like this for my mvc3 project ? Thanks in advance !
Google! Many sites embeds external search engines.
If you're looking to add a search engine to your web site, there are three things you need to thing about:
The index, which holds the search results. Lucene, Solr and Sphinx are examples of this.
The crawler, which gathers the results and puts them into the index
The ui to get the results back from the index.
The control you linked to seems to provide all three. For a free replacement, maybe have a look at something like http://www.searchblox.com/
One option is the jQuery UI "Autocomplete" plugin:
http://jqueryui.com/demos/autocomplete/
This doesn't integrate with MVC out of the box; you'd need to write a server side method to provide the content for the completion drop down.

WebCrawling Dynamic Links

Anybody has any idea on crawling websites that have dynamic pages/queries? I mean if I click a certain link, it has different values every I try to reload it in a web browser. Now my webcrawler could not download the contents of these pages. Please advise.
it would be the same way even it is dynamic or not. actually a crawler is only a mater of 3 things
The url
The data it sent to server if it is a POST Method then
The cookie if authentication is required
that's all,
the common problem when doing crawler:
Miss-guess of default page [index.html, index.php, default.aspx etc].. actually it will work without it for all method [POST/GET]
One of each field name is not written exactly
ASP.Net form viewstate id field (i forgot the name) but i can be achieve easily
Dynamic page generated by javascript. this one is the hardest part and the most cases even google still have problem about this.
hope that help.
You might want to look at this question which details how to write a crawler or look at the source code for http://searcharoo.net/ which contains a good crawler (see here).

Dropdownlist Checkbox

If you have ever used SQL reporting services, there are some dropdown lists that pop down with a checkbox list in it. It allows a user to select multi items very nicely. Does anyone know a free User control or an example of this implemented. Ok, so I know I can do this with some elbow grease and html, was just trying to see if there was already something out there. I’m using ASP.NET C#.
Thanks,
Joe
