Google Suggest.....live search

Google Select ......I'm curious how they are doin it. Google Suggest returns suggested results as you type .....this is technically amazing. Even if I type pretty fast it gets updated for every single keypress......brilliant folks in Google wrote all these innovative code. I just wanted to undersand the web interface and it's dynamic interface behind this.

I surfed the net and got little more informations. This live search has been implemented some time back in Apples' Spotlight feature. Apple might had inspired Google. I walked through Google's code & script. They are using XMLHttpRequest to send request to the server where they are havin the script which returns a HTML file. Event though this is someones innovation it's Google who first implemented it.

Once Google meant only a search engine ...now a lot more frm them.... Gmail, Desktop search tool, Google Suggest.....when are they goin to stop(???). I read today morning in a daily MS and Yahoo are busily enagaged in developin a the couterpart for Google's Desktop search tool and they are expecting to deliver the Beta vesrion by '05 Jan mid. Now wat are they goin to do to compete with Google Suggest......!!! Indeed Goggle is the uncrowned master in implementing web technologies with lot more innovations.
