So what do you say, Google?

Now this isn’t ground-breaking, auto-completion is a pretty old idea, but the way Google suggests queries, learns about your searching habits, and makes you feel good, now that’s ground-breaking.
Under the hood, everytime you write something in that little search box, Google sends an XmlHttpRequest and gets the results to be displayed. This can be trouble on slower connections, and I suspect dial-up users will benefit from the idea, but with some caching, I think they can make it.
Can’t wait until Google makes it final. Watch out MSN!
