Hi, great questions, I'll try to answer them:
1. Yes, it is critical that we minimize the amount of JavaScript necessary. Most of the libraries you observed are needed for the demo webpage: the horizontal scrollbar, the popup box, etc. The widget, if embedded on a webpage will need very little code, only the part that does autocomplete. We'll do our best to make that minimal.
2. Yes, we want to check for updates, and we will try to use all methods that are available. So far we use our own http crawler, and where they are available RSS/Atom feeds or sitemaps. It would be easiest if the sites would notify us automatically of changes, but otherwise we can recrawl at a given rate.
3. Yes, we are still tweaking the algorithms for ranking and building phrases. One of the reasons behind doing this demo is to get feedback on what could be improved there.
4. Good idea, we will try to do somthing like this. This is one of the reasons for going for blogs as the first target: they have well-defined format so we can do specific things for Blogger, Wordpress, etc.
5. Yes, we want to do this. This demo showed just the suggestions, but we will have traditional search as well.
6. Soon, hopefully... We are aiming for a few weeks from now. Thanks for your interest !
