Thanks for trying but your script plainly doesn't work. it throws off a red error too fast then dies. After a zillion tries i could screenshot it, it said that "execution of scripts is disabled in this system." and even though i try a few things on google, nothing worked.
Also i can't find the command to run this file straight through powershell since the shortcut way likes to die before i can humanly read the message.
That is because the execution policy on your system is set to restricted. I forgot that this is the default, sorry about that. Also the script needs an update, because gelbooru changed their auto complete url.
Execution Policy:
If you want to run it and don't want to change the system settings to allow all scripts to be run (which I would not advise if you do not need it), then create a .bat file (e.g. start.bat) in the folder with the start.ps1 script.
Open it with any plain editor like good old notepad and paste this script:
powershell -executionpolicy RemoteSigned -File "start.ps1"
Which will set the execution policy for this one instance of powershell and make the script runnable.
Update:
Here is the updated version of the script to accept the auto completes in a JSON format.
Well, thank you for replying, now we're getting somewhere but not quite there.
I followed your instructions, with your most up to date script and i got this error:
The term 'Invoke-WebRequest' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet,
function, script file, or operable program.
Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included,
verify that the path is correct and try again.

+ $img = Invoke-WebRequest <<<< $Matches[1] -OutFile $out_path
+ CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (Invoke-WebRequest:String) [], C
ommandNotFoundException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundExceptionI did some digging and turns out the Invoke-Webrequest was removed from Powershell 5.
This guy seemingly have recreated the function itself, but when i tried to implement it a quick red message would appear and crash the cmd, can't debug, too fast. Maybe you have better tools:

No, Invoke-WebRequest is present in version 5 (I am running 5.1 and it is still there). I found a post where it is explained, that the alias wget is deprecated in 5.1, but the original function is still there.
The only time where Invoke-WebRequest would not be present for you would be if you ran version 2 or lower. This is only the case on Windows 7. You can check this if you run a powershell window (Just type powershell into your windows search or press the Windows Key + R, type powershell and run it).
There type the command:
$PSVersionTable.PSVersion
If this shows for the Major column a version lower than 3 you are running on an old version and a solution for you would be to update your version here then it should run.
As much as I want to fix this game I really don't want to find workarounds for web requests and Json parsing in version 2.0. I did this at one point for other stuff and it is a pain in the arse :P . (Also the version 2 on my system is somehow busted and I would either need to reinstall windows, setup a windows 7 VM or something similar just to test stuff.)
I apologise as I do not wish to bother you any further however I've followed your steps on windows 10 and tried to run it but end up with this error and I really love this game

Im not proficient in powershell script however I believe this line

Is returning null
No worries. I wrote it and fixing it because gelbooru is changing its website is really not a big deal. I rather have to thank you for posting the error and so on. Helped a lot with fixing it :)
Should be working now with this script: https://pastebin.com/K1ae96KX
Glad to see that you keep it updated ^^
I know i might be asking too much but is it possible for you to change it to other website like Rule34.xxx or at least teach me how to? I spent time googling finding the regexes to no avail and trying to mess around with the coding on my own by changing the website.
Thanks in advanc
