Search engine for product picker - yhoiseth - 12-15-2014

I'm making a product picker like this one. The information about the products are stored in a MySQL database.

I'd like a search engine in order to narrow down the search results and display fewer products. How would you do this?

Use a third-party library or provider (I have some willingness to pay)? If so, which and why?

Or build it from scratch? If so, why and roughly how?

If you're in a hurry, maybe look for a third-party library. But if not, you could just build it yourself. Based on what I see on your sample, it uses a div refresh so using a little ajax post will help.
