Sure, but exactly how will depend on where there list comes from and
exactly what sort of matching you want to do.  It's harder if the
suggestions have to come live via HTTP requests.

With HTML5 capable browsers, you can do something very similar simply by
using the "list" attribute, but that may not suit your needs.
