I’d like to share to all of you this nifty jQuery plugin which is something that every webdesigner ought to consider incorporating into their search box element on their web page. Called Tokeninput, this plugin makes it quicker and easier for the user to key in search items.

Aside from keying in search items, it also informs the user if the data they’re looking for is actually available before they even hit the “Enter” key or press the search button. If said data isn’t suggested by the autocomplete feature then chances are it’s unavailable. If you’ve tried sending a message to any of your friends in Facebook then you have already seen and experienced firsthand the convenience that this plugin has to offer.

Feel free to check out the demo and download the plugin HERE.

Some of its features include: Intuitive UI for selecting multiple items from a large list, easy to skin/style purely in CSS, no images required, supports any backend which can generate JSON, including PHP, Rails, Django, ASP.net, smooth loading animation, and a whole lot more.
