Yes, the libraries for those kind of things are good. :-)

With JS libraries, it's not that hard. As a test I created a simple
page to search the Emacs concept index. Just type in the textbox
something emacs related, the completions appear and if you select
one then it takes you to the relevant page of the emacs manual:

The effective code which I wrote for this is about 4 lines
(aside from the index entries array, but I just generated that).
