Try changing the call to the javascript file:

<script type=“text/javascript” src=”/livesearch.js”></script>

Things are improving—when I enter text into the box there is no “error on page” but as soon as I stop typing a second searchbox appears.

If I hit the enter key I get another flashed “error on page” message and an empty page opens.

In the JavaScript try making an absolute link as well:

liveSearchReq.open(“GET”, “/welcome.php/KB/livesearch?s=....etc.

According to my browser it has a ./welcome.php there.  I want to remove the period and make it absolute.  I think the browser’s hate us.

...as my son would say “my bad” - I missed the period in the code.

No errors now, but also no results for “search” which generates 5 results via the simple search.

I think there is something wrong with the template that does the actual search.  No matter what I put in the URL, I get No Results every time.  Ex:

http://www.yoursite.com/welcome.php/KB/livesearch?s=search

Here is the contents of the template “KB/livesearch” It was copied from this thread.

<?php

global $IN, $DB, $LOC;

if (!$IN->QSTR)
{
  exit;
}

$search_phrase =& urldecode($IN->QSTR);

$query = $DB->query(“SELECT distinct(a.entry_id), a.url_title, a.title,
b.blog_url
                      FROM exp_weblog_titles a, exp_weblogs b
                      WHERE a.weblog_id = b.weblog_id
                      AND a.status != ‘closed’
                      AND (a.expiration_date > ‘“.$LOC->now.”’
OR a.expiration_date = ‘0’)
                      AND a.title LIKE ‘%{$search_phrase}%’
                      ORDER BY rand() LIMIT 0,10”);

if ($query->num_rows == 0)
{
  exit(‘No Results’);
}

foreach($query->result as $row)
{
  echo ‘<a
href=”’.$row[‘blog_url’].$row[‘url_title’].’”>’.$row[‘title’].’</a><br />’;
}

?>

Well, call me a fool, I should have seen the problem sooner.  Try this:

liveSearchReq.open(“GET”, “/welcome.php/KB/livesearch/” + document.forms.searchform.s.value + “/”);

It works…wise one. Thanks.

Where do I change the search results page that is used? It is dumping out to a different page than the simple search results.

Upon submission?  The problem is that the EE search is too complicated for such a simple form.  The original incarnation of it had the form go to the first result, but that would require making everything a bit more complicated.

I found the errant setting for search results and corrected it in the search preferences.

How does Livesearch choose which weblog to use for the templates? It currently is choosing the original “weblog1” settings.

Also, can the searching be restricted to a single weblog?

Livesearch appears to only be searching the title - is this true?

Can the simple_search be modified to accept 2 characters (3 seems to be the default)?

Do you think that the “keyboard navigation” will be added to the EE version.

Thanks Paul.

It searches all weblogs via title currently, and then creates the links based on that entry’s weblog’s Weblog URL.

Yes, only title.

Yes, but it requires a javascript change, look for this and change the 4 to a 3:

if (liveSearchReq && liveSearchReq.readyState < 4)

Sure, why not.  This add-on is not a high priority so do not expect to see it for a while yet.

Still a really cool plugin idea, but still no time soon.  I have a nice list of things I *must* do before I can focus on this, but if anyone wants to try their hand at it I could probably give pointers in the Developer forums.
