• search by individual words
• integrate option into standard search
• search only the specified length of each word
• users search
• interval requests
• wrote 2 js class
• able to drag'n'drop window
• Search by threads now produced on an index table thread (fulltext - optional), which increases the speed of search
• Changed the type of floating window (refused vbmenu)
• popup transplanted to the div's in tact vb4 (tried to get the maximum sync with the style and API)
• (for non english users) offer the ability to change the keyboard layout: if by the word search returns zero results, it will try to verify whether the correct layout are the words, checking every word of the existence of the database as a dictionary.

Noticed the above still had some problems with Chrome.

Updated to 4.0.6, ran it through an un-minifier, and ended up with this:

Really quick and dirty. Looks like the RegExp.rightContext chokes under that one condition in Chrome. Used a try/catch to handle it prior.

Interesting.

I want to use this mod with sphinx but it's not working, anyone has the code modification to let it work with sphinx?

Hi:

It did not work for me. Do I need to upload two files .js in the do_not_upload folder?

Thanks.

[8thos]

Not working for me in 4.1.4. Wack.

[Speedster123]

Not working with Chrome, vB 4.1.0

[apn3a]

There is a way to have the results into a drop down menu instead of the popup window?

And who can we move that popup window to specific position? Let's say under the search box

Thank you!

[8thos]

One day it started working on my site. It was real random but I turned it off as it was annoying the crap out of me every time I typed in a couple letters and automatically began searching instead of showing a list like most ajax powered search boxes.
