Is there an addon that once you start typing in the search box it displays stuff:

Example we sell cabosil and captains varnish

a customer starts typing ca into the search box and cabosil shows up kinda like google search does.

once the customer types cap it changes the box to say captains

I hope I am explaining this correctly.

Here are a couple options:

http://www.thexcartstore.com/predictive-search-module-xcart.html

http://marketplace.x-cart.com/addons-modules/product-navigation/product-search/

Hope that helps! One thing to make sure of, is that your server and DB can handle something like this. It can be a resource hog.

Thanks Mike,

I was wondering about that (resource hogging). I had 44000 products and Predictive Search & CDSEO Pro and was crashing server (using 4.5.5). Just restarted with CDSEO 1st plus 32G memory all seems ok (using 4.6.1patched) except when selecting sitemap.php (will edit link from template) This time when re adding Thexstore's predictive search feature I will try to be more controlled when adding search terms to reduce workload on server.

Now i am worried to use a feature like this, i really dont want my site to slow down or crash.

This is the true power of Cloud Search:

The CloudSearch widget in your store interacts directly with our cloud without increasing load on your server.

Of course, clients that already pay for dedicated server hardware that can handle such a load, are probably better off going with an in-house solution to save on monthly costs.

As Mike said, you may try our CloudSearch soluition:

The search is done on our servers and won't slow down your website.

$249.00 / year is just way too much when we just have a little over 400 products.
