You could consider using a dijit filtered select or dijit combobox, then updating the data from a search url as the user types in the input.

The filtered select and combobox use the dojo data api to load in a set of records, and then uses type ahead suggest for auto complete. If you reload a relevant set of records while the user types then you can provide useful options.

Also here is (older) one tutorial that goes over creating your own autocomplete widget:

Another using dojo 1.6 with the zend framework, but you could adapt the widgets:
