Google Suggest implemented for dictionary

Gavi Narra notes in a comment to my entry on Google Suggest that s/he has implemented it for a public-domain dictionary and has posted how it works. It works darn well! Gavi notes: "[A] connection is being opened for every keystroke and is not a good idea...Google Suggest is probably running by having all the suggestion words in main memory and a custom webserver that does nothing else."
