Hi,

I don't think the following should be too difficult to implement, given its built into the core potentially.

Basically, how would I go about creating an autocompleting 'tag search' form, like a search box?

This would help users avoid having to browse a long page of taxonomy terms. They could simply start to type in a possible term and if its there it will offer it (in exactly the same way the current form does for creating new node types with free tagging).

It might be nice for it to be a dual purpose form (with integrated search box). So that if no taxonomy term exists then it is just a regular search box.

Any thoughts on this?

I agree - this would be a great addition. I have an extranet project coming-up that involves a library of company profiles. Users need to be able to search for companies that provide certain products, and an autocomplete function could give them a quick view of what's available.
