What is the best way to add predictive search to an intranet site running on Sharepoint Office Server 07
Rather than search for a term and get 300 results with my answer on page 6, I want to have the search box offer predictive terms for what I'm typing and narrow down to give me just the document or two that I want. I also want to be able to have the search box capture what people are searching for so I can build out a library of docs based on their requests when one does not exits. I have looked at iBox and Fast ESP, but neither one is simple or elegant enough looking from their online demos. I want to provide a portal page that will help people find a helpdesk document based on the topic they need, or answer a question and provide a short definition.

You should create a custom text box control with a key press event. On the key press event you should return the textbox.value to a dictionary library (not a dictionary object, but an actually dll you buy from a third party) and have it return the smallest words that match the current value. Then display those words in a drop down list that appears below the text box control. If the user sees a word that matches what he is looking for they can click the drop down member that matches their search. It would take all of about 30 minutes to code the thing (once you have found a dictionary dll that works the way you want it to).
I could give you a code sample, but I think you would have to come through with a better tip for that!
