Search Module that shows all products while entering a keyword or product code?

Hi everyone, just want to ask if it is possible to achieve a search module like google search? Its like when you input a keyword, all products that are associated to it will show like a dropdown. Here is an image of what I want to achieve. I just saw it in one of the websites while browsing.

Attachment #10033

Im using zencart 1.3.9h

currently i have installed a module called Advanced Search Plus V1.2 but I just want to know if its possible because it is easier to find products in there.

Thank you guys in advance.

Cheers,
Lala

Re: Search Module that shows all products while entering a keyword or product code?

Hi again, I think what I want is autosuggest. Can anyone guide me on this? I did a research and try everything to achieve this but find no luck. What files should I modify? Ive been modifying includes\modules\pages\advanced_search_result\header_php.php and includes/templates/mytemplate/common/tpl_header.php but the changes i made there dont seem to work. I am not good in ajax nor php but im trying my best to learn those. Any help you extend is greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Lala
