As a consultant to enrich the end user experience on maansu.com, we are working on implementing auto suggest feature on maansu. At maansu, we leverage the power of Lucene to make the user experience better. When we had to implement auto suggest, we leveraged the Termscomponent handler for auto suggest. Thanks to open sourcing of solr, we a small band of engineers were able to provide the complicated feature of auto suggest in couple of days.

Some other reference url’s to get this feature working are http://www.mattweber.org/2009/05/02/solr-autosuggest-with-termscomponent-and-jquery/, http://docs.jquery.com/UI/Autocomplete

You can see a  free email marketing application using Google App Engine and Java at http://sendaps.appspot.com/. You can enter user name, upload contacts file, copy/paste a marketing message and the application will send a email to the users. This sample proto-type application can be extended to act as a email marketing application, which we are hopeful of developing it, sometime soon. It uses GWT, J2EE and is hosted on Google App Engine.
