@Remi: Your autocomplete is a perfect example of the limitations that the author outlined above, namely, “ip| nano mp3 player” (where | is the cursor) brings up nothing even though “ipod nano mp3 player” is in your autocomplete list.

What I get out of this article is that it’d be nice if the cursor acted somewhat like a wildcard character, so that you can modify the contents of the input box anywhere in what you are typing and still get useful autocomplete results.

I’m working on Kelkoo (an european shopping engine) and our autocomplete works on both normal and reverse mode. You can have a look at it on : http://www.kelkoo.co.uk
We are using the Autocomplete YUI component with a few tweaks to handle our needs.

eclipse autocomplete kinda solves this problem, and you can manually invoke a lookahead with ctrl-space (thats quite common across editors i beleive) perhaps what we need is ctr;-space for the web?
