Launchpad has a number of pop-up widgets to select, for example, a product
or a project from a set of available ones. This spec describes a strategy to
implement widgets that look and feel more like the Google Suggests drop-down
widget, which is both fast and attractive, and broadly compatible with a
variety of browsers.
To select one or more from hundreds or thousands of items (such as products or people), Launchpad has a standard control that retrieves suggestions based on text you type. This control is implemented using Xml''''''Http and Java''''''Script, and is similar to that used in [[http://www.google.com/webhp?complete=1|Google Suggest]].

 * How fast can we make the back-end searches? It will need to be sub-second
   query time in order to feel slick.

 * What will the XML-RPC API look like?
