Hi there,

I want to implement a search option in my web application(C#) related to data within my website.
Also I want suggestions under the search box as soon as user types some text into the textbox.
I want to know whether there are any built-in techniques for this in c# language or else any other way to implement Search option.

For the 2nd part of your question, what you're talking about is an 'auto completer', there are lots of examples of this available

e.g jquery

The technique is to make an ajax call when users type into a text box, retrieve a list of possible completion values from whatever source and display them when the ajax call completes

You could use the AJAX autocomplete extender:
