How to implement textinput control and identification

I have a text input box where users can add text, however I would like my program to identify the text in the box and match it up with text in a database.
So the user essentially can't add any text which isn't on the database. So the user will type in the text input box and maybe like a quick selection box appears below it to identify what is being added based on the items on the database.
Not sure where to start implementing this.
Textboxes are just normal textinput components at the moment:
<s:TextInput id="searchInput3" includeIn="AddingInput3" x="126" y="304"change="onChange3(event)"/>
Database is just a local xml file
Looks like you meant auto completion in your text input.
You must search for this in your favorite search engine: "flex text input auto complete" and you should get many results.
One such example for the same is:

You can defer the focus with:
field.focus(500) //This is 500 milliseconds

Search text from textbox using dialog in Silverlight

I have reachtextbox and want to search text like notepad in silverlight in separate dialog.. Find text and search that text in huge text entered in richtextbox.
How can I do it using separate dialog like notepad and search text and edit and highlight it in richtextbox?
I'd use a Mediator to send messages between search form and text form. You can declare an event like "OnSearch" in your search form and suscribe to it from your text form. When the event raises, you should send an eventarg with the string you want to search.
The text form should suscribe to the "searchMessage" with a string parameter. The Business layer for text form should implement a "search" method that looks for every string/substring depending on your search options. Then change text color for each coincidence.
Searching strings:

You can also use the Find method in RichTextBox.
To change the color of that text you have to set the text as selected and then change the color of that selection:
SelectionStart, SelectionLenght, SelectionColor.
