I created a Google Suggest like dictionary on 24th december and posted about it on Joel on Software’s website. The response was amazing. There is a “how does it work?” section with all the source code so you could roll out your own versions.

today i got upwards of 5000 hits, but the dictionary registers a hit for every letter typed so it is not an accurate representation

The fun part is the dictionary is based on the freely available websters 1913 dictionary, So try to type for words like, “computer”, “rocket”, “technology” , it is pretty funny. The next part of this project is to implement a custom webserver with an in-memory index and include all the other freely available dictionaries on the internet (like FOLDOC). Post your comments and suggest changes.
