I'll try and make some time to make another example using your mjt.Task It will be interesting to compare the performance. Hi Dae, thanks for the code snippet.

We also have an autocomplete service that's not really documented. If you try autocompleting on freebase.com, you should be able to see the call to that service using firebug. Anyway, I've implemented a mjt.Task to do this: // mjt.Task for /api/service/autocomplete fb.AutocompleteTask = function(prefix, type, category) { mjt.Task.apply(this); if (!type) type = "/common/topic"; if (!category) category = "instance"; this.values = {prefix: prefix, type: type, category: category, disamb: 1, limit: 10, get_all_types: 0} // defaults }; fb.AutocompleteTask.prototype.enqueue = function() { var req = this; // for closure var path = "/api/service/autocomplete"; mjt.callback_script_get(mjt.service_url, path, this.values, function (o) { mjt.parse_metaweb_script_response(req, o); }); }; Hi Will,
