Hello. We have a client that would like to have instant search results (a la Google search where the terms populate the list as you type). I’m thinking this is not trivial to pull off but wanted to check to see if others had thoughts.

Well, seems like you would have to attach a handler to the text input to fire off an ajax call to a specific EE template with every keystroke, and just use the return to populate your results area.
EDIT: just found this wiki article, I think it talks about exactly what you want to do.
