Live.wikipedia
It is a live search front-end that uses OpenSearch API. Like Google Live search, it instantaneously starts showing articles as the user starts typing a query in the search field. It offers the next possible suggestions, presumably using the existing incremental-find option of any typed-in entry.

With the advent of many large online websites offering Live search, it is a project worth considering for Wikipedia. The front-end could be customized and tweaked a bit to fit in with the existing projects.
This live search tool can have a great impact on projects like Wiktionary, even consolidating multiple language versions into one.
