Hm. I am not sure if that's possible through Apple's API. I will take a look.
Though not specific to music (and would have mostly non-music suggestions), you could hit suggestqueries.google.com with a jsonp-formed request. (maybe throw "music" in front of the typed query or something to apply filtering).
Nicely done!
EDIT: Oh, you have movie and TV show searches. Out of curiosity, what country are you in? Some results that come up for me aren't available in the US iTunes Store.
You're a smart man. You set this up for the referral program. Once TechCrunch and Mashable get a hold of this, you're gonna be rich.
Though I do hope I will get the coverage of TechCrunch or Mashable. :)
$.post("/itunes/ajax", {'q': q, 'hell_yeah': 52012} <-- Hell yeah? :P
Would it be possible for you to add support for App Store searches in addition to music, or do Apple's APIs not support that? If you had that, your search would easily replace iTunes's for me.

Honestly speaking, I am not trying to make loads of money out of iTunes Instant. I can earn 5% of the commission which means it's only $60 if 1000 songs are being downloaded using my LinkShare referral links. Though I do hope I will get the coverage of TechCrunch or Mashable. :)

Yes. Check out Marco Arment's preview.fm. He had a similar web app that allows you to preview album.
Oh yeah, I've heard about it before. I will definitely implement it using if it doesn't heavily affect loadtime.
Well done!

For now the site does cross country iTunes RSS search (for Music, Podcasts, Apps, Movies, etc) and displays Album art with tooltip Artist / Album info (via title="...").
iswebapp.com will be a collection of "Unofficial and Experimental iTunes Store Web Apps"... aiming to build new experiences for iTunes content with lots of HTML5/CSS3 sexiness.
A minimal UI with fast load times. Single purpose apps... much like Stephen's brilliant work.
I will be building more web apps on the iTunes RSS/Search API's - affiliated of course. I plan to release an open source jQuery Plugin for RSS, Search and Affiliate link generation. If you're interested drop me a line @i_chris_jacob
I started this site a few weeks back but got distracted by Node.js and theories on how to best make the AJAX content indexable (headless browsers, etc).
Excited to see such keen interest in Stephen's work... guess I'm onto a good idea. Congrats to Stephen for nailing Instant Search while it's so hot. Wish I was as clever at 15 y/o!
Follow @iswebapp - I'll be tweeting once the ball gets rolling.
