Bug Description
There's this popup select window that we use all over Launchpad to allow the user to select one option from a large list of options (e.g. for assignees, source package names, etc.)
Users hate popup windows, and the extra clicking involved in using the widgets in that extra window slows the user down.
Ideally, I think it would be cool if the popup were replace by a Google Suggest style widget.

A dynamically updating inline widget would be marvellous, but in the meantime I think it would be easy to make drastic improvements to the vocabulary search interface.
