Ok.
How demo http://v4.webmasters.ru/forum/?langid=1 (tester / 123456)

Voonyx, problems possibly because of a conflict, because the hack works fine on a clean forum.
To identify the conflict, try turn off all hack and then turn on by one.

Very nice mod.. it is weird though that when you click on live search, you get a popup with an error untill you actually type something.. and that if you close the popup when you're done searching and press at live search again, you get the same results you had before you closed it.

Are these bugs?

[mad@Max]

you get a popup with an error untill you actually type something

What kind error?

and that if you close the popup when you're done searching and press at live search again, you get the same results you had before you closed it

Yes, i confirm that, but it not so critical, in future i'll try fix it.

Please type keyword
Minimum word length: 3
Maximum character: 35
Maximum output results: 50

This one. I don't think it's supposed to be there, because it happens as soon as you click on the search box.

Come to think of it, it might not be an error message but just a message to explain how it works.. it still kinda looks like an error message to me though.

[mad@Max]

This message showing only with one condition: when length of some typed word (whitespace separated) more then you set in settings.

Thanks. The mod works fine, but for example I have problems when i search my forum with live search for the word koi, then i get no results. but if i use the standard vbulletin advanced search i get many hits from my forum when i search for koi.

Anyone who knows why ?

VEry nice. waiting for that But why does it also open if u enter nothing?! Would better if it just pop up if u also enter some words. thanks
