Description
This plugin uses an abstraction of jQueryUI’s autocomplete widget that interacts with the unofficial/undocumented Google Suggest API.
Props go to Haochi Chen.
It adds an AJAX call to the search form, returning matches for the current search query.
Make sure the searchform input field has id="s" applied, so this plugin can hook in the existing WordPress API to unfold its magic.
Translations
I will be more than happy to update the plugin with new locales, as soon as I receive them!

FAQ
-
Why are there no suggestions, when I enter a searchterm?
-
To pick up the user entry, the Plugin needs the search input field to have
id="s", like in the default Themes that come with WordPress.
