I had originally planned on making this an offline app but scrapped that when I realized it would lose the ability to do real-time Google Suggest (or similar searches via Yahoo/Bing/Twitter). Search engines have a huge database that I can use to help with suggestions.
Even if I make an app for iPhone/iTouch, most users can still access the web and make use of Google Suggest so the effort to go through 20GB of Wikipedia/DBPedia/Freebase data and implement my own intelligent search didn't seem worth it.
