You can use the built in jquery ui autocomplete like so:

          $(function() {
         $("#BurroughName").autocomplete({
                minLength: 0,
                source: function( request, response) {
                            $.ajax({
                                        url: "/JsonData/GetBurroughFromSearchTermJson",
                                        dataType: "json",
                                        data: {
                                                    term: request.term,
                                                    CityId: $("#CityId").val()
                                        },
                                        success: function( data ) {
                                                    response( data );
                                        }
                            });
                },                  
                select: function( event, ui) {
                    $("#BurroughId").val(ui.item.id);

                    if (ui.item.id != null) {
                         var cityId = $('#CityId').val();
                        $.getJSON("/AdSales/City.mvc/GetCityJSONListFromBrand", { burroughId: ui.item.id }, function(data) {
                             $("#CityId").fillSelect(data);
                             var foo = $("#CityId option[value=" + cityId + "]");
                             if(($("#CityId option[value=" + cityId + "]").length > 0) && cityId != "")
                             {
                                 $("#CityId").val(cityId);
                             }
                        });
                    }
                    $('#burroughSpinner').fadeOut('slow', function(){});
                }
         });
     });
