This extension uses the fabulous jquery library (v1.4.2). Additionally a slightly modified version of the jQuery plugin Autocomplete 1.0.2 by Dylan Verheul, Dan G. Switzer, Anjesh Tuladhar, Jörn Zaefferer is used.

Also many thanks to the Twoonix Software GmbH for financial support and critical feedback which helped me a lot to finally make the code public.
