Curious myself… any answers?
You could purchase a subscription to https://swiftype.com/.

Much cheaper solution would be Algolia
@philipboomy - I agree. I prefer to use Algolia most of the time. Swiftype is what is powering the university site last I checked. Since Swiftype is an Elasticsearch product, and the webflow search is powered by Elasticsearch, that would make sense for wf.
It would be nice to have a premium (paid for) option to wf site search.

This gets pretty close:
Hey!
I’ve just written up a tutorial on how to do live search/autocomplete inside Webflow. Here’s what the end result looks like:
The way it works is similar to Webflow except in this tutorial we use Jetboost (a more affordable paid solution compared with Swiftype). When a user types something into the search, it will check against a collection list (or multiple lists) and return a filtered list of CMS results.
Hope that helps!
