Build a hash of the search queries progressively, so once it is searched, store the query string in the hash if not already present, when typing the search string , query the hash for the search string and display some top 5-10 possible matches.

The order in which they appear can me maintained by a entry in the hash which represents how many times the string has actually been searched and incrementing it each time a search has been made for the same string.
