google suggests

This entry is in the following categories:

Top->Programming->Web->JavaScript/DHTML
 - Older in JavaScript/DHTML: closures... why?
 - Newer in JavaScript/DHTML: closures for event handlers with parameters

I read a nice dissection of google suggests code.

What I was most curious about was how it got so fast! I read that google uses tries to get suggestions quickly.

It's also interesting to note that the google server is sending the suggestions to the client as javascript strings.

If you want to examine a web application, fiddler is a useful tool.
