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)

About 15 years ago, we reached this point of interactivity with PC applications. And then we went back to what seemed to me 3270 mode with HTTP. It's taken a decade and a half to get back to half-decent interactivity. The caching and customized prediction are quite impressive. I just love stuff like that. B
