I can't thank everyone enough for the generous feedback here. Scenarios are quite broad with primary emphasis on first and last names (Steve, your point to phonetic matching is right on track for when looking for a name you only heard ... especially with Google appliance).
A close second are names associated with particular attribute such as company, education, location, etc. Scenarios that are interesting to play with a simple white bar are last names like thompson, smith, lee. With the possibility of spanning the globe, and a directory chuck full of companies ... you see where I'm going. Type ahead by last name is a wonderful solution. Though, it seems contextual to last name? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
