P99 0 ms* autocomplete for 240M domain names (ruurtjan.com)

Unfortunately this approach doesn't feel that great down here in Australia, definitely a function of latency.

I think you could get a lot closer by framing this as an optimization problem, where you use the full alphabet dictionary, but add a residual prediction which aims to cover as much of the remaining domain name tree as possible weighted by popularity. This tree could then be pre-baked and stored with the same system. This would probably get you p99 0ms even in Australia.

Clever but that’s not how we measure latency.

When it comes to UX, perceived latency is king.
