Vladimir, do you think you could easily implement such an incremental
search box (with autocompletion)?
Sorry, that idea does not appeal to me either. Web browsers already have
the function of searching within a page.
But search boxes with autocomplete are vastly better.
Search boxes with autocomplete are vastly better than the classical
Ctrl+F dialog as implemented in Internet Explorer 6. Most browsers
currently implement Ctrl+F as incremental search, which highlights
results as you type.
Ctrl-F does not progressively adjust the list of search candidates - it
can highlight only what's actually visible in the document.
