Ok here's a mockup of search concept I would like to implement:

Search suggestions feature would surely require JavaScript but IMHO it
would be a really nice enhancement.


I don't know anything about the specific search-suggestion engines, but as far as looks I (mostly) really like it. Only two comments:

- There should be some visual indication of the search box besides the text itself. It *looks* nice as you have it, but practically speaking it'd be a bit awkward to not be able to see the box itself.

- A *lot* of search boxes on the internet these days bake the "Enter search term here" (or whatever) text into the HTML, forcing non-JS users to delete the text before they're able to enter their search term. That's bad UX. Instead, the "Enter search term here" text should be *added* via JS and left blank in the raw HTML. That's a trivial way to ensure it works great for both JS and non-JS users.
