I have create a sample SQL that will return google style search result. You can try this T-SQL. You can also add more than one table column searching criteria.

ALTER PROC [dbo].[USP_GetDoctorLookupList]
(
    @SearchText varchar(50),
    @ItemCount int
)
AS
BEGIN
    SET @SearchText = RTRIM(@SearchText) + '%'
    BEGIN
        SELECT TOP (@ItemCount) * 
        FROM
        (
            SELECT
                CASE 
                    WHEN RTRIM(LTRIM(d.cdocname)) LIKE @SearchText then 1 
                    WHEN RTRIM(LTRIM(d.cdeano)) LIKE @SearchText then 2 

                END OrderBy,
                d.docid_PK,
                d.cdocname,
                d.cdeano

            FROM doctor d

            WHERE 
                (d.cdocname LIKE @SearchText
                OR d.cdeano LIKE @SearchText
                )  
        ) Doc ORDER BY OrderBy, cdocname
    END
END
