We're looking to create a text box with functionality that is very similar to a spell-checker, but it won't be used to correct spelling, but to access selections from free text.

The goal is to fetch a list of keywords and functionality from the server before the user starts typing into the text box. Then, when the user types a keyword (in real-time), display this word to the user in a different manner, and when the user right-clicks on the word, have a pop-up list display some additional information regarding that word, and hopefully an option to disable the default action of that keyword.

Then, when the page is saved, we'll perform a second compare against the text to build a list of actionable tasks, and actually do something that relates to the text they've typed in.

We're hoping that by pre-loading the list of keywords (and related associated stuff), we'll cut down the response time and have something that is usable and functional.
