Known Issues
Double click in search field - still not fixed.

Installation:
Upload all files from folder upload to forum folder.
Import product.

Upgrade
Uninstall the old version, delete files (if you has use it) and install new version.

If you already have opened search field, do following.
Search field look like this:

                <form action="search.php?do=process" method="post">

                    <input type="hidden" name="do" value="process" />
                    <input type="hidden" name="quicksearch" value="1" />
                    <input type="hidden" name="childforums" value="1" />
                    <input type="hidden" name="exactname" value="1" />
                    <input type="hidden" name="s" value="$session[sessionhash]" />
                    <input type="hidden" name="securitytoken" value="$bbuserinfo[securitytoken]" />
                    <input type="text" class="bginput" name="query" size="25" tabindex="1001" />
                    <input type="submit" class="button" value="$vbphrase[go]" tabindex="1004" />

                </form>

So, after the opening tag <form ХХХ> add bottom:

                    <div id="lsa_window">

Before the closing tag </form> add:

                    </div>

We have prepared the search form to pop-up window. Now we need to bind to the field of javascript.
For this in tag <input type="text" /> add id="lsa_input"
As a result, you should get some of this code:

				<form action="search.php?do=process" method="post">
					<div id="lsa_window">
					<input type="hidden" name="do" value="process" />
					<input type="hidden" name="quicksearch" value="1" />
					<input type="hidden" name="childforums" value="1" />
					<input type="hidden" name="exactname" value="1" />
					<input type="hidden" name="s" value="$session[sessionhash]" />
					<input type="hidden" name="securitytoken" value="$bbuserinfo[securitytoken]" />
					<input type="text" id="lsa_input" class="bginput" name="query" size="25" tabindex="1001" />
					<input type="submit" class="button" value="$vbphrase[go]" tabindex="1004" />
					</div>
				</form>

P.S. If you already have id in your search field and its change may be possible to reset the anchor CSS, do the following.
Open the template lsa_script and edit the line

var lsa = new AJAX_LiveSearch_Prepare("lsa", "lsa_input", "lsa_window");

where the arguments of the class:
lsa - variable name initialize class js
lsa_input - search field id
lsa_window - pop-up window id

Thus, changing the arguments of the class AJAX_LiveSearch_Prepare, you can not edit the search field.

I kinda got the same error.
I have a search in my navbar like the one here at vbulletin.org.
Is there a chance to get the live-search working for that?

[Hell Bomb]

Ok, i am getting the same issue as alot of people, I did a clean install of the mod, uploaded the files, installed the product and added the following code to my header

				<form action="search.php?do=process" method="post">
					<div id="lsa_window">
					<input type="hidden" name="do" value="process" />
					<input type="hidden" name="quicksearch" value="1" />
					<input type="hidden" name="childforums" value="1" />
					<input type="hidden" name="exactname" value="1" />
					<input type="hidden" name="s" value="$session[sessionhash]" />
					<input type="hidden" name="securitytoken" value="$bbuserinfo[securitytoken]" />
					<input type="text" id="lsa_input" class="bginput" name="query" size="25" tabindex="1001" />
					<input type="submit" class="button" value="$vbphrase[go]" tabindex="1004" />
					</div>
				</form>

The entire code to my header is

<a name="top"></a>
<table width="$stylevar[outertablewidth]" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center">
<tr>
<td class="logo">
<a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]"></a><img src="$stylevar[titleimage]" align="left" border="0" alt="$vboptions[bbtitle]" />
</td>
</tr>
</table>

				<form action="search.php?do=process" method="post">
					<div id="lsa_window">
					<input type="hidden" name="do" value="process" />
					<input type="hidden" name="quicksearch" value="1" />
					<input type="hidden" name="childforums" value="1" />
					<input type="hidden" name="exactname" value="1" />
					<input type="hidden" name="s" value="$session[sessionhash]" />
					<input type="hidden" name="securitytoken" value="$bbuserinfo[securitytoken]" />
					<input type="text" class="bginput" name="query" size="25" tabindex="1001" />
					<input type="submit" id="lsa_input" class="button" value="$vbphrase[go]" tabindex="1004" />
					</div>
				</form>

<!-- content table -->

$_phpinclude_output

$ad_location[ad_header_end]

yet nothing pops up, i just type in the information, and it goes to the regular search page... any help anyone?

yea i have came to the conclusion this is not for people who don't know how to code within vBulletin. It took like 3 days for me to get this working and its still buggy. Defiantly needs some work. Hopefully it will get the bugs worked out and this could be one hell of a mod.
