Filter SharePoint list columns while typing search terms

First of all I want to thank Jaap Vossers (twitter: @jvossers) for putting a great jQuery script and solution on CodePlex for this. More info on CodePlex

My client wanted a more advanced kind of column filter for a SharePoint list. They have a assets library with a lot of items in it and they did not want to scroll through the complete list of all choices when they choose “show filter choices” (see below).

The list can not be grouped by filter (see below)

It only works (as far as I have tested it) with a expanded list.
The solution looks like this:
