Amusingly enough I was trying out Google Scribe only a month or so before
Google Instant was rolled out (http://scribe.googlelabs.com/), it's
essentially identical tech sans search box.
Well and the results. Google Instant isn't the easy autocomplete bit, it is
the provision of instant results.
Of course, and the results ;-) It's a nice show-off feat nonetheless,
although the Beeb News article about how clever design is 'making us
stupider' did chime with me to an extent. What will really be impressive is
when they manage to get it native in HTML5 for Android phones, that's their
next step, I think that's the problem this particular solution will fit with
more than desktop usage (I actually craft my desktop search queries quite
specifically based on past experience of Google's engine)
