What you are talking of is called AUTO-SUGGEST or AUTO-COMPLETE and it's a AJAX request thing.
Here are some tutorials and plug-ins CLICK HERE
Probably you should create your own database of the desired auto-suggestion which are the web addresses and the names you're talking about putted in HTML links and the drop down menu should be modified with these links instead of simple text as it is in the tutorials.
I also suggest that the redirecting to the sites happens on a click not just with typing because wrong auto complete will trigger linking and that leads to undesired behavior.

You could also do something like this:

$con = mysql_connect($dbuser, $dbpass, $dbhost, client_flags = 0, new_link = false);
if (!con)
{
     echo "Database Error";
     die(mysql_error());
}
mysql_select_db($dbname, $con);
?>
Your search for site form goes here
<?php
$sql = "SELECT * FROM sites WHERE siteName = '$_GET["siteName"]'";
$result = mysql_query($sql);
if (!$result)
{
     echo "Database Error";
     die(mysql_error());
}
// Table Setup
// site_ID | site_Name | site_URL
$siteFound = $result[1];
$siteURL = $result[2];
?>
We have found the site that you are looking for. Here's the Name and URL:
<?php
echo $siteFound.': <a href="'.$siteURL'" target="_blank">'.$siteURL.'</a>' ;
?>

This should get you something like what you're looking for.
