That widget is specific to MapGuide. For MapServer you need to take a
different approach. There's a start here:

http://trac.osgeo.org/fusion/ticket/25

I've implemented a similar system based on this work, you can see it in
action here:

You can easily play with the address search - it uses an autocomplete
function to provide address suggestions - though I see now that the box
positioning is broken in FireFox 3. Grrr.

I expect that soon the search widget will be rewritten to be platform
independent, like recent work on the maptips.
