Agree, but what is "zero effort"? My financial advisor is self-described "lazy" (he's an odd fellow, we're lucky to have him) but he does quite a bit more stuff than your regular Joe does when it comes to managing our money. That's why I be

Moe, Not sure if you noticed, but I was the author of that link :P It's not just about incremental search, that's just one example. Anything in which there is logic in the client that reads in user-entered data and mutates it in a way in
