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.

Hello again,

I was browsing around and looking at Joomla templates when I came across one that had an amazing AJAX search box. I was wondering if anything like it would be possible with this mod here, or is vBulletin's search capabilities/parameters too different?

Keep up the great work!

[maidos]

hope you still consider getting us ability to move the result window since its display over the search input field

Guess it's some kind of Russian but I have no clue what it means. Thank you

I hate it being a pain in the neck, but I'd like to know what it means

[mad@Max]

This is location name of phrases, it's not matter.

[Dr. Bantham]

The code has changed and I cannot identify where I can modify the size of the input box and the "Live Search" text within it. A quick pointer to the section of code where this is set would be greatly appreciated.

[mad@Max]

Size you can set yourself (it not defined), next to the variable $lsainput. "Live Search" look in phrases.

[Strike3ForumsMH]

This is a great idea, but there are some problems.

1.) It works flawlessly in Firefox (and Google Chrome) but it will not work for me within IE7. I hadn't yet tested Opera or Safari.
2.) $lsainput does have a width that I can't determine either. I have it set within my own search field at 100px, which defines the search form, but there is a clickable search area that is invisible but will bring up the Live Search once it has been "activated."
3.) I don't know if this was covered yet or not as I didn't get a chance to search for it, but it does not work on my vBAdvanced, stating the Ajax.php cannot be found, I imagine this can be solved by calling to an absolute path.

Perhaps these errors were just with me, but for now I will hold off on this as much as I like the idea in the hopes of getting some time to try to resolve the errors (as they very well could be due to my style and setup.)

It does work great with Firefox again though.
