Thread

The last few days I have been trying to implement a Live Search solution which should look, in essence, like the one here (which uses the Live Search plugin in EE1).

I’ve read a few topics about the Live Search Plugin and I found the ported EE2 version of Live Search (unofficial). Also found this blogpost but that solutions looks a little slow and I prefer a more flexible solution.

This is working now. However, I’m looking towards a more flexible solution.

Solution #2
I tried to find a solution based on the JSON plugin. I created a new template /search/json/ with a few products in JSON format. See output here.

Using the JSON Autosuggest jquery plugin I tried to trigger the requests with

$('#keywords').jsonSuggest({url: '/search/json/'});

Unfortunately this does not work. Absolute URI, relative, with or without .htaccess.. I tested it without result. However, when I try to get results from the data in the demofile it does give me that data.

Is there someone who has a Live Search solution implemented in EE2 successfully?

Have you made any progress in regard to an AJAX Search Suggest?

I’m in the need of coding something like this as well, so thanks for the links and info. Has anyone made only significant progress on something like this for EE2?

I found the solution here: http://ellislab.com/forums/viewthread/158439/#764977

Its a bit involved to get it up and running, but the supplied code does work!

I was able to get something working using this solution as well. I think I may post some additional details about how I got it all working if i get a moment. Thanks for the reply.
