Jquery: Filter dropdown list as you type

I have used a prototype plugin which filters the contents of a dropdown as you type. So for example if you typed 'cat' into the text box, only items containing the substring 'cat' would be left as options in the drop down.

Does anyone know of a jquery plugin which can do this?

I wrote a little script to do this a few years ago. It could be packaged up as a jQuery plug-in quite easily, probably. You're welcome to it.

I also do this in my PHP Function Reference Dashboard widget if you want to look at the code there.
