i am still not sure where exactly you want the effect if its the text box then on keyup event change the previous text color property to a dim color i.e.

$('#query').css('color','gray');

this will change the color of the text to gray. Or you can try changing the opacity of it as well.

style of id

#gray

used by google.

#grey {
    background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #FFFFFF;
    border-color: transparent;
    color: silver;
    overflow: hidden;
    position: absolute;
    z-index: 1;
}

so in first step you display the autosuggested text using z-index and in the next step you display the text which user typeded in and that will give you the same effect of google.
