Autocomplete as an alternative to select and checkbox

I'm also interested in this feature, it would be a major usability improvement for sites with massive taxonomies.
+1!
;)

Does "multiple autocomplete fields" mean one for each vocabulary?

Interested in the same autocomplete feature. I posted similar request to other modules, and this functionality is not present yet in drupal with the following form:

In its simplest form for 1 vocabulary:

an autocomplete taxonomy term menu, where, the menu uses a vocabulary to autocomplete terms, directing the results to default drupal taxonomy module urls, /taxonomy/term/tid

Thanks, no luck so far,

I'd be interested in this feature for 5.x

Its a great way not to overload the user with selectable items (i'm using it as a basic search over two vocabs with dropdown menus currently)

Thanks!

@edmonkey: It is not necessary to change the Version; it was sufficient to request the back-port. I have not yet frozen the 5.x version (although that time draws nigh), so almost all changes I make are to both branches.

Any progress on this issue in the development version? I am working on adding this feature to the "stable" 6.x version.

Here is a patch that implements an auto-complete form for tagging vocabularies. An autocomplete field is displayed for each tagging vocabulary. Entry of terms is the same as if you were entering terms for a node. If an unknown term is entered, a message is set and the term is ignored.

The patch is against 6.x-14. Comments welcome.

The patch I posted has some problems. I'm working on a fix.

I have this working well on this site: http://mindfulcooking.org/find

If there's any interest, I'll figure out what I did and make a patch.

Interest from me!, could you supply the working 6.x module or patch with the autocomplete and msg ability. thnx
