An extension of the Select Box Link field. Adds the option to use a jQuery-powered autocomplete input in place of the basic select box. A bit more is planned for future releases, so feel free to leave your input.
Thanks to Makenosound for helping me get a few bugs ironed out :)
@czheng: When you get a chance I reckon you should look at implementing the Quicksilver ranking algorithm. Would make it that much sweeter.
Probably over my head, but I'll read up on it...
Have a look at this: warpspire.com/tipsresources/interface-scripting/select-autocompleter. It uses another JavaScript framework, but it may be helpful and is based on Quicksilver's algorithm. Quite easy to implement.
Cool, thanks.
Here's the link to the original jQuery plugin: http://orderedlist.com/articles/live-search-with-quicksilver-style-for-jquery.
Cool. Actually, John Resign, author of jQuery, has an updated version. Will aim to switch to this for v1.1.
John Resign is so cool.
I mean Resig. Lol.
You got it. Funny name and a really cool guy anyway. :-)
Breaks when using more than one autocomplete field in the same section. Looking into it.
Fixed. I hope ;)

Pre-populate is not working when field is set to both 'autocomplete input' and 'allow multiple selections'. Looking into it...
Is there a way to make Bi-Link field (http://symphony21.com/forum/discussions/792/1/) like reference link field?
Ummm... You'll have to be more specific than that.
I mean Bi-Link field with the same jquery-powered autocomplete feature :)
And I have another one question: how about ajax in referencelink feld?
You'd have to talk to Rowan about adding autocomplete to Bi-link. He might even do it, actually. He's gotten into the habit of making every extension I've created obsolete, so I see no reason why Reference Link wouldn't be next ;)
When you say AJAX, do you mean having the association created in place, without having to save the entry?
