Comment (by DrewAPicture):

 Some thoughts that came to mind tonight:

 * Based on most of the implementations I'm seeing, it looks like the
 standard jQuery Autocomplete library is pretty popular. Anybody have
 tested alternatives in mind?

 * Whatever implementation we go with, we're (obv) going to have to take
 scaling into account. I've got a MultiSite in the wild with a (modest)
 couple hundred users and the autocomplete searches are taking longer than
 they should. I can't even imagine what it would be like on larger-scale
 installs. Regardless, my first instinct is transients, we'd just have to
 figure out the logistics of resetting the stored query data when new users
 are registered/added so the query stays current. (Feel free to call me out
 if this is an absurd concept).

 * Just from a cursory glance around Trac, we've already pinpointed many
 tickets that tie into the autocomplete stuff we're tackling here. Do we
 bring it all under one roof, or deal with the scattered tickets and
 related patches separately?
