You can acheive this by:
1. Converting a lookup field to picklist by following my favourite author's link:-

2. Than Putting a suggestion box on that picklist using:-

If you type something in the lookup field and you take the focus away from the field, the Auto Complete will try to resolve the matching records according to the value typed. If it can't resolved, the Lookup will show a red error sign. If more than one record was resolved, a yellow
This is an inbuilt functionality but if you want more then have a look at this.
I hope this helps.

Surely it is possible to extend ms crm 4.0 for your requirement you can implement this through js.

HI,
Thanks for the reply. but i am unable to understand how to implement in CRM4.0.
i.e. In Opportunity screen, we are having the potential Customer Lookup, when i type "A" it has to list customers starts with "A"
further to this if i type "AN" it should list only customer starts with "AN".. Just the same as we see in GOOGLE..
PLease write me step wise solution.
Thanks
