[TYPO3-dev] Make selecting records via AJAX possible (like Google Suggest)

oh this sounds just great!!

I need more! ;)



>  * implementation of individual functions for selecting and rendering
>    records is possible

so i can set that not only the title but also other fields of a record 
are searchable?

>  * you may restrict selection to certain pages/folders and to a certain
>    depth
>  * configuration on a per-table base, i.e. you can configure e.g.
>    different pids for different tables

I can also set the pid restriction on a certain page, so e.g. on Page A 
the search just looks for records on Pages b-f and on Page G for records 
on pages h-k?

nice features:
* should be possible to change the style, so e.g no icons
* min chars, time for lookup
* respect max limit
