Auto suggest on edit or add field

Is there a way I can get the ajax auto suggest working on a field on the edit or add page.

I would like to have the auto suggest work exactly as it works on a list page search.

Search For "field" "contains" "something" works perfectly while viewing the list of records.

When I add or edit a record, on my Description field, I would like to show the last 20 similar entries. Would really help in data entry.

Pick list is out of the question as there are too many variations of this data.

I hope this makes sense. Any help would be appreciated.

Dale,
there is no such feature in PHPRunner now. As workaround you can set up field as Lookup wizard --> Edit box with Ajax popup and modify generated files manually (replace = with LIKE in the sql query, remove JavaScript validation, etc.).

Unfortunately we don't have a ready to go solution for this.
We'll add this feature in one of the next versions.
