I already implemented it like this. The things is that the use case will be that you don't want to automatically build this list from some generic full text search index. I thought about using the Lucene index of the repository as source for this as well. But it turns out that you always want to control what is displayed during the auto completion. Otherwise, how do you select the ~10 items to show for 1, 2 or 3 letter inputs? You need some use-case-dependent priorities for each term, for example the popularity of those terms gathered from the search interface itself.
