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.

Thank you for the update! It pulls up results now. It still has the issue where you have to click outside the box in order for it to search for the results. If you don't it just has a blank box with no results. Also on my board it doesn't work at all in IE.

Thanks again for the update.
