Although the technology looks really cool (and could be as big a shortcut for searching as hot keys are to typing) the scary part of this is it means google is reading what you type, in their search field, in real time. That's a bit creepy. I wonder what browsers it will be compatible with. It also begs the question of whether some clever hacker out there will use the same technique to fashion really nasty keylogger-like phishing sites to trick people into revealing passwords etc. Tighten down your firewalls people, this horsey could be hollow.
