In particular I need to separate the single words (tags) that people write.

There are plenty:

  1. http://code.drewwilson.com/entry/autosuggest-jquery-plugin (broken link github link)
  2. http://bassistance.de/jquery-plugins/jquery-plugin-autocomplete/
  3. http://plugins.jquery.com/project/tag-it (broken link github link)
  4. http://plugins.jquery.com/project/jquerytag (broken link)

If you are looking for a styled and ready solution, I'd recommend the first option.

If you are looking for a more flexible and complete solution, the second solution is probably a good fit.
