Installed. Works perfectly on my site, www.battlehacks.com
Although it doesn't look so nice with my transparent skin
I do like that you can drag/move the search box though.

vb4 is not so flexible in this case

Great mod, thanks. Just one problem I could not get rid of is that the popup does not cover active tab. Here is the screenshot:


Can this be sorted out?

[mad@Max]

Yes, you're right. During the next version i'll fix it.
In the meantime, you can do the following:
in file ajax_live_search_init.js find
div.style.display = "none";
and add above
div.style.zIndex = 100;

[Greight]

It worked
Thanks

It seems the search done by Live Search is case sensitive. Is this intentional? As it seems of no use how can be disabled?

[mad@Max]

Seems like that your db setup on case sensitive.

So can you tell me what to do?
