> requires a network request Seems to me that often, though not always, this network request would happen whilst the user is typing — say, busy typing chars 3, 4 and 5. That the netw req won't be noticeable for the human And, if typing more chars, or backspace-deleting to fix a typo ... no netw request required. And the same scenario, if typing a 2nd word. I'm guessing in like 90% of the cases, it'll seem as if there was never a netw req.
