Xavier, 0-1000 QPS is a pretty wide range. Plus, it depends on how good your auto-complete is, which depends on types of queries it issues, among other things. 100K short docs is small, so that will all fit in RAM nicely, assuming those other processes leave enough RAM for the OS to cache the index.
That said, you do need more than 1 box if you want your auto-complete more fault tolerant.
