Thought I'd drop some links on this: http://del.icio.us/tag/googlesuggest This one, in particular, does a pretty good job of showing what's going on: http://serversideguy.blogspot.com/2004/12/google-suggest-dissected.html I think the best way to see what's happening, though, is to install the "live headers" sidebar in Firefox: it will show you exactly what Google's "Suggestion Server" is saying as you type. That lives here: http://livehttpheaders.mozdev.org/ Actually I've found that that extension has improved my understanding of how HTTP works as well. The general concensus among most of the blogs I've read is that the key presses are being compared to some sort of data structure that contains popular searches.
