Auto complete using Node.js. A simple application with an input field, auto completes(suggests) relevant inputs for the user. Clicking on search/pressing enter will redirect you to google search. It has an amazing team-work story, we had a string that contains 10,000 English words. We converted the string to array, then looped on the array and sorted the words in objects relativily to it's first character. So we made an object, that has 26 keys A-Z, each key(letter) got an object as value, and all the words that starts with 'key' character will be in the value.
