Excellent hack as always, loving it since vB3.X

[maidos]

is there a way for the result window to appear only after you have typed in the keyword instead of appearing just because you clicked on the search field

[gabrielambrogio]

ottimo.

The product.xml points to the 3.8 thread for this mod

Is there a way to search for substrings instead of complete words? (i.e. 'stalk' finds 'stalker' which it does not now). I already have 'full text' on.

[thrylos]

not working with 4.0.4 (?)

I have problem with size. Any size I put it stays same size and it is very small, maybe 200px width.

Anyone noticed this?



The navhover.png button floats in front of live search box.

Re-import the product. Thats how I fixed the width. Any more changes I made I had to do this again. Its a pain but it worked.

I had a similar issue until I reduced the hight of the box to 200px
