Inaccurate title. It's like Google Suggest, not Google Instant.

You're right. Updated.

"Instant" is the new "suggest".

Too much clutter. There's so much stuff on the screen that I can't read any of it.

It seems that I can type just a bit quicker than it expects. I typed 'ana' and came up with a lot of 'a' results. Erase and type slowly and I get the 'ana' results that I expected.

I reloaded and tried again and this time came up with 'an' results.

Whoops! I hacked this together this weekend, there might be a few bugs. Thanks for letting me know though.

Impressive, and I like the speed. Not sure suggestions are my cup-o-tea, though this seems it could be handy if I used them more heavily. And you should probably watch the tab order / arrow keys, sometimes it seems to get lost, and can "select" entries which are not visible. I'd probably capture the tab key in JS and control it manually, otherwise my settings let tab go to every link + form item.

I'd probably get more use from something like this which searches my history + bookmarks + delicious + instapaper + etc, and does a normal search on those. Otherwise, currently, I type in "xcode" and get 3 from my bookmarks (missing my "xcode plugin" bookmark, among others), and none from my history, despite having 19 xcode hits in my history.

I agree. Probably 50% or so of the time I'm looking for something I've looked at before... either in my history or my "archive" that is spread across multiple sites.

This is great fun to use but not very practical, ever heard the phrase "information overload"?

Good crack at it though.

Interesting :) You should start tinkering with the omnibox API and let us know what you think:

Interesting - but probably not designed to scale to millions of users like Google Instant.

Nice try but I think this is a bandwagon you should only jump on if you're willing to put a lot of time into a streamlined UX.

I don't like the usability of this. There's too many items, and I need to read both horizontally and vertically.

You should have only 1 list with larger font, but with everything merged into that 1 list.
