Seriously, no.  This is the best, and easiest, way I can think of.

Sometimes programming is just complex, period.  Not much to be done 
about that except suck it up and write the code.

The only gotcha in Eric's outline I might see is firing an event on 
exactly 3 characters.  I think you should fire an event on any character 
change.  The reason is you're probably going to want to search again for 
4 character, 5 characters, etc.  And if the user backspaces to 2 
characters, you'll want to clear the search results.  So firing an event 
for every change sounds best to me.
