Live Search Popup
I transformed my AJAX live search at the upper right into a Wordpress plugin:
You can get it here: Live Search Popup plugin.

Links result dont work in any browser.
Dropdown doesn’t work in IE.
Graphic doesnt render nicely in IE. Must be PNG format.
Still work in progress?
Yes, They are transparent PNGs. There is no other way to get a pleasant look independently from the theme than with transparent PNGs. It’s a pity that older IEs cannot render them. You are free to adapt the transparent PNGs to non-transparent ones for your theme.
I think there is a problem with the javascript Prototype library that is used here. Wordpress provides its own, which is outdated. I have to check and make it work with the old version. I replaced Prototype with the recent version on my installation. Many other plugins also provide their own version, but then you get conflicts with the parts of Wordpress which rely on the old one. It’s a mess. Standby a few hours, will check tonight.
Did some tests now. In fact I cannot reproduce your problems at all that the popup does not appear (tried in Safari 2, Safari 3, Firefox 2, Camino, Opera 9, IE 7). That’s not exactly what I call “not working in any browser”. If you have a browser which makes problems, please tell me. You can test it at http://test.1stein.org
But you are right with the clicking. This was introduced by a recent change to hide the popup when the cursor goes outside of the search field. Will look into that.
hello, i have installed and customized the colors of your plugin but seems that no post is getting found..
any ideas? im using wordpress 2.2.3 ..
thanks!
Does it show the popup but with “No results” as text inside or do you see just nothing?
How long does it take for the search to catelog the blog in order to have drop-down results? Because as of right now, there isn’t any drop down results (although if u actually search, there are results)
Tony, does the popup appear at all? If yes, try something like http://1stein.org/wp-content/plugins/live-search-popup/search_results.php?s=Mac
You should see the search results. If the list is empty, you can start with that script to debug the problem, without any hassle with JavaScript.
Where can i set the title for the widget? I just installed it, en tried digging in the code.. but didn’t find it.. Where is the title (between the ) put?
You mean the “results” string? It’s in the live-search-popup.php file between the < h1>< /h1>.
No, i want to have a title for the widget.. in the widget-page you can set sometimes a title for the widget.. For Example: the text:”Searchform” above the searchform.. so users know what it is.
Mark, I updated the plugin to version 1.2, now with a widget configuration control to set the title. I hope that’s what you meant.
Stefan, thank you !! It’s exactly what i meant.. keep up the good work..
Hi, this script is too good.
but how cant use this in my custom site?.
im not use Wordpress… (is cutenews)
The source code is provided. Feel free to adapt it to your setup.
uhm, yep, i installed and it shows the popup but with No Results text..
im using wordpress 2.2.3
any ideas?
eh yes.. free to adapt, But i dont know what adapt..
only need css and .js..
+ some code for work.. what code. dunno..
i get error .. no work alone.. edited the urls .. .. Mhhh
Danu, then it’s a good question. Try to debug this search_results script. Don’t know anything else to suggest I fear. I tried the script with a fresh installation of Wordpress and it works. Put in some print-command here and there, maybe you can find the point where it fails.
No, the popup does not appear at all
I mean, yes, it appears, but it says no result
Same problem with me. It doesn’t find anything. Pop-up works, but I get the “No results” -text.
Pete, as I wrote before: try to debug the search result php script. It’s plain php, no JavaScript involved. On all the installation I tried, it worked without this problem. So I cannot debug it myself.
hi, this plugin is really cool.
it works for me, if you look at the plugin on itself.
but this bug is going to really sound strange…
the submit button with ALL the post breaks when the plugin is enabled.
it still kind of submits the post, but it stays on the same page, it does not even refresh, or do something ajax like… only if you refresh the page the post shows up.
it does not have to do with if it is viseble as a widget as php code or not at all, but as soon as it is turned on or off the submit buttons starts/stops working.
did you use any variable that could interfere with the submit button?
or maybe the prototype version?
anyhow, great plugin, if it would not destroy the submit button i would use it.
The plugin is cool. But there is no popup on my site. I don’t know why? the search function is work as it should, only no popup result.
here is url if you want to test: http://n-blue.nblogz.net
Bwt, Thanks for great plugin.
Pepijn, which submit button do you mean? The one in the post screen? The one for comments? The one for the search?
n-blue, I checked with the Webkit debugger. And the javascript code fails in the line to put the key handler on the search box in live_search.js. You are loading the MooTools library, for the SlightBox plugin. MooTools also defines an Event class and it’s possible that this conflicts with Prototype. Can you disable Slightbox and check if it works then? If yes, I will look for a solution.
comments, and as i sayd, only if the plug in is enabled, it does not matter if it is in the side bar or not.
Pepijn, do you have a test page online where I can see the problem? It’s hard to understand the problem without.
Thanks. When disable SlightBox, Live Search Popup working properly. I will disable Slightbox for awhile.
i’ll put it on the page, we’re still building, so it does not realy matter if the submit button is working or not…
the site is http://www.wizzkunde.nl
Pepijn, I checked your site. Your theme uses some kind of AJAX comment preview. There is a conflict with Live Search Popup. I tried with the Safari JavaScript debugger, but doesn’t show the exact error unfortunately. My guess is that the comment scripts are incompatible to the Prototype.js that Live Search Popup provides. To find out more please try to comment the line 13 in live-search-popup.php which output the load command for the Prototype library. I guess your AJAX comment system will pull in its own version later.
yea, you where right.
i commented out the line, of course the plugin stoped working, but the submit button did work again.
but, where do we have a comment ajax preview?
a friend of me instaled the theme, so…
what is the easyest thing to do, change the preview or your plugin?
Pepijn, take a look at the HTML code of one of your pages with the comment form at the bottom. You find this:
< form id="commentform" action="http://www.wizzkunde.nl/wp-comments-post.php" method="post" onsubmit="new Ajax.Updater({success: 'commentlist'}, 'http://www.wizzkunde.nl/wp-content/themes/wizzkunde/comments-ajax.php', {asynchronous: true, evalScripts: true, insertion: Insertion.Bottom, onComplete: function(request){complete(request)}, onFailure: function(request){failure(request)}, onLoading: function(request){loading()}, parameters: Form.serialize(this)}); return false;">
You see the link to comments-ajax.php which comes from your theme. If you don’t want ajax comments, just remove the onsubmit tag with all its JavaScript. I guess it will work again then, also with other scripts with prototype.js.
what is the difference between ajax and normal comments?
i dont see anything realy differend…
but anyhow, it worked!!!
thanks!
Don’t know what your theme tries to do with ajax. I use this one on my site: http://blogwaffe.com/ajax-comment-preview/ It implements the preview button below when you post a comment. And the latter also works with my search plugin.
I am new to WordPress and appreciate your plug-in, except it invalidates my pages. You might want to look at this page to get some ideas on how to provide valid XHTML code for your plug-in: http://www.artweb-design.de/2007/4/16/safari-beautiful-search-input-tag-fixed
Thanks !
I am trying to use this plugin, but wordpress 2.3 gives no results for any search whatsoever
Joel, can you post the link to your site? Some other people have the same problem and maybe I can finally see the reason for that. All my test installations of Wordpress were working out of the box. So there must be something different.
Sure thing, it’s http://www.joelcalado.com
Joel, I don’t see a reason right away. I have some ideas though. One of them is that maybe your php settings do not allow the search_result.php script of the search popup to include the wp-blog-header.php. Does this make sense to you? Could you do the following please: copy the search_results.php to your web root where the wp-blog-header.php file is. Then remove the three “../” in the search_results.php to find the wp-blog-header.php again. Finally try to access the search via http://joelcalado.com/search_results.php?s=sol If I am right above with my guess it should work then.
Another possibility would be the theme: can you switch to the default theme? I don’t expect this to help. But one never knows.
I tried both ways, It still prints the “no results” message.
Using the second method, what is supposed to happen? Cause it expects a $posts variable, which doesn’t exist, so it will always returns “no results”.
Thanks for the help
So, no ideas?
Have to look into it again. Do you have a IM? Jabber? Skype? ICQ? MSN? Might be easier to do in realtime together.
I have msn or jabber (google talk), with the same mail

what a great widget! thank you for sharing it. this question
may fall into the dumb category. how do i include the widget
on multiple sidebars? I have only one Live-Search Pop-up
widget to play with on my widget dashboard.
Good question. I didn’t think about the case with more than one instance at all. It is certainly possible to write support for that, but it will not work out of the box.
Hi,
I tried to use your script. it works nicely. I had only one problem. It seems your css does not work with subdirectory installation.
Please check, Else, please tell me how to fix it.
Thank you,
regards,
Vrajesh
vrajesh, please check the new version 1.3.1. I made some paths in the css relative.
Where can I get version 1.3.1? Where can I make the search bar wider? And the padding around the word results smaller? If it’s just a certain class, which is it?
Good question. I commited it this afternoon and creates a tag as well. Maybe the update of the plugin website is broken?! Strange
I guess there update script does not work. It is obviously in the repository: http://svn.wp-plugins.org/live-search-popup/trunk/ You can download the 1.3.1 files there manually.
Making it wider is possible by editing the css/live_search.css file. Just add the desired size difference to the several width values there.
I had deleted the 1.3.1 tag in between. Maybe the update script got confused. I pumped up the version to 1.3.2 now, hopefully it will show up finally.
Neat looking plugin. However in my test site which is in a sub-directory I don’t get any images showing - needed to change between lines 25 and 47 the ‘get_bloginfo’ to ‘print get_bloginfo’ so that the links were properly formed.
However I am not getting any results showing in the popup. Just ‘No results’. If I click on the search button I do get results though.
Another thing - it appears to conflict with WP-Commerce plugin - ie I don’t get any popup if that is activated as well.
I am using 1.3.2.
What’s weird is that enabling the Search Unleashed (http://urbangiraffe.com/plugins/search-unleashed/) allows it to work (not all the time though).
With Search Unleashed installed using a default installation of Wordpress with a wigetised theme I find that putting in ‘hell’ into the search box brings up the results including the ‘Hello World’ example post, but if I put in ‘hello’ I get a ‘No Results’ answer. Then putting in ‘hello world’ goes back to a result. Strange. This only works at all if I have built an index with Search Unleashed.
Need a bit of help with script. I think the pop-up function is working and it was installed according to directions only it displays incorrectly. I can’t seem the find the problem in the code. Please check it out - there seems to be a box around the magnifying glass button that I can’t remove? Thanks in advance. Should be CSS but don’t know where.
my website is http://www.vancesmith.net
The wp-commerce problem very probably is caused by conflicting prototype/AJAX libraries. Please check which one are loaded in your site. Live Search Popup should work with the library of Wordpress.
Leland, is it still on your site? I see the ajax search, but no magnifiying glass at all.
Oh, sry - I was testing the popup without the added visual code. I will put it back up today for you to look at, thanks.
[...] “Live Search Popup” for Wordpress: 1stein.org/2007/09/11/live-search-popup/ [...]
Thanks for update. It’s still conflict with Slightbox. By the reason that I like your search very much, I have to deactivated Slightbox. Hope it can work together in other days.
I would be very happy to make it compatible with Slightbox. So if you find a solution….
I added another feature to your plugin:
If there are more then 10 search results, a <li>-item appears at the end of the first 10 matches, showing the number of total results. Clicking on this (or pressing return) leads to the search result page.
You can try it on my site.
If you like the feature, I could easily provide the code - if I remember the changes I made, that is…
@Marco: Sure, sounds like a good idea. Can you send me your changed file? I can make a diff then.
i does not work. i tied everything. But it say no result.
i mean it works if site permalinks off. İf permalinks category/postname ; it doesnt work.
I am also having the permalink problem. When i have it at one of the predefined structures it works but if i use a custom permalink it does not.
That’s a good hint. I didn’t try it with custom permalinks. Will look into this tonight. Thanks for the reports.
thanks STS .. this so important for me.. A lot of people uses %category%/%postname%/, just like me…
You were absolutely right: the permalinks were the problem. Wordpress tries to map URLs according to the permalinks. So when the search_results.php is called from the popup with the ?s=foo parameter Wordpress will try to look in the live-search-popup category.
I didn’t find a elegant and clean solution yet, but at least one which works (see in the search_results.php for that; basically I fake the REQUEST_URI value in the _SERVER array).
So, please, everybody who had “No results” before, try the new version. There are good chances that it will work now if you had permalinks enabled before.
Thanks for implementing my suggested “show all” feature!
Ugh, when I try to activate the plugin, I get the “Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error” message. Currently running WP 2.3.1, with Akismet and Dashboard Editor. No other plugins. Any suggestions?
Hmm, not good. Have it running here with WP 2.3.1. Works fine. Anybody else has those problems?
Is there any way to dump debug info about this?
I’ve tried it with a new wordpress installation, with no plugins, with all my normal plugins, default theme, custom themes, etc, etc, and it still bombs. Could there be an issue with my PHP/Apache setup? The livesearch in the K2 theme seems to work ok . . .
Sounds like a problem with your installation. No idea though what the problem is :-/
I figured it out: the opening PHP tag in live-search-popup.php was just <? and not <?php. Changing that did the trick. I can’t get it to work, yet, but it no longer causes the fatal error.
I fixed that in 1.4.3. Thanks for reporting!
Got it to work. I had to replace all instances of get_bloginfo(’siteurl’) with get_bloginfo(’wpurl’), as my blog location is not the same as the WP install. Now I’ll tweak the style. Thanks!
thank you very much.
now it works.
the permalinks were not the problem now . it works..
keep good working

Thanks for plugin, but it makes slow downloading website
Hello,
Great Plugin!! I have a left sidebar - how do I center it or move it more to the right it is pressed right again the left.
thanks
J
What javascript are you using to select and scroll through the results?
What do you mean by “what JavaScript”? Just look into the code: http://1stein.org/wp-content/plugins/live-search-popup/js/live_search.js
First off, awesome plugin. It works like a charm except for one thing… I can search for certain things, and they show up without any problem… baseball for example. However, if I turn around and search for “Kim,” nothing appears, though I know I have quite a few posts with “Kim” able to be searched.
All it shows is the blue box with “results.”
I believe that everything should be okay with my site, since it does search. Right?
Thanks!!
Very strange indeed. Looking at http://www.pesosforpenguins.com/wp-content/plugins/live-search-popup/search_results.php?s=Kim everything looks fine. The only thing the plugin is doing, is that it prints the search_results.php output into the popup, no processing whatsoever. If you have another browser around, what does it show? Could be a Firefox bug as well.
It’s funny you mention that… I work on a Mac, but I use IE inside of a virtual machine… It works properly with IE6, IE7 & Safari.
A Firefox glitch eh? Interesting.
Thanks!
You’re not gonna believe this… It works now in all browsers, after I posted new content. Glitch in a post most likely. Thanks for your quick response!
hello, I just wondered how search results are sorted…
if someone searches for a very common term on my site, he’ll get lots of results, so I was wondering if I can somehow sort the results by date, so newest content is on top…
They are sorted in the same way Wordpress uses for search results. I think it is “by date”, so the same order you see on your Wordpress main page.
well, not really. you can test it here: http://www.ronduldesibiu.ro search is in the right sidebar on top. do a search for SIBIU and you wil not find the article that is right now on the frontpage written on 10th of december called: “Sibiu 2007, cica e cu happy end”, even if you hit enter and check the usual search results, aka http://www.ronduldesibiu.ro/search/sibiu there is no trace of this post
You are right, it’s not by date. Maybe some magic “by relevance”. But the built-in search gives the same order. Maybe there is a way to change that.
I know the built in search gives the same results, I just noticed that it doesn’t show results from a certain type of posts. I use the wp-sticky plugin, which “categorizes” posts into sticky and announcement posts, and it seems no announcement posts are included into the search, I am currently looking into this issue. thx for your support and time.
hi there, i tried and activate the plugin, but no pop up show up.. help please.. thanks..
the site is on balidental.com/dev1
Hi,
This plugin is superb, saw it in action in many blogs.
I’d like to set it to work on my K2 blog, but as you can see in my blog (http://macamour.com/blog/) it’s not working.. It’s as if it is just upon the classical K2 livesearch (I took off the code from sidebar.php but nothing)
Help Appreciated
Thanks in advance
It’s me again, I finally took off the “old K2 livesearch” by deleting the lines that are calling it from header.php, but the popup is not reacting when I type text in the required field (but it returns the results when I press the enter key).
This plugin works perfect. The only problem I have is when I activate my 1-blog-cacher-Plugin, and search for something, than theres the actual Website displayed in the search-results popup. Any idea, what went wrong?
i installed the plugin and when i type in the search field the pop-up returns no-results, but submitting does. i went to http://72.167.126.75/wp-content/plugins/live-search-popup/search_results
and there were no results so i opened the search_results.php file but have no idea what to do with it . thank you for your help
Eric, do you have a version online to see the problem? What is 1-blog-cacher?
hi Stefan! what a cool piece of code you’ve written - thanks for that!
unfortunately we’ve got an elusive problem with a fresh install of WP v2.3.2-de and a single installed live-search-widget v1.4.4 with no other plugin installed/running simultanously. neither modifications on database, articles or comments, nor changes in the design were made.
the error occurs on a comparatively fresh install (1 or 2 weeks) of a windows vista with IE7 v7.0.6.
the following javascript-warning (not a real error) is reported on all pages _except_ index.php:
“Fehler auf der Seite - Fehler: Objekt erforderlich.
Zeile: 2198, Zeichen 7″
this installation was a test, after going wild by randomly clicking different ajax-plugins together failed badly on our main installation.
apart from this warning the plugin seems to be working correctly.
so what makes us think about is the fact, that this error doesn’t occur on any other page we’ve tested fitted with this great plugin, for example yours ^^ or the ones posted in the comments above - but it also appears on your test-site posted in comment #3 test.1stein.org?
due to i’m not using m$ this circumstance doesn’t really bother me ^^ but it seems our bassman next to me can’t sleep anymore.. *ouch* (perhaps it’s something thinking about does nothing more than burning redundant calories?)
Markus, can you try the new 1.4.5 version? The problem appeared because some code of popup was running even when the search was not visible. With my ie7 in XP the JavaScript error is gone now on test.1stein.org.
Hi Stefan! First of all: thanks for your tireless commitment! I really appreciate at it’s true value. I’ve overwritten the files and I will contact my “crashtest-dummy” as soon as possible to let him check it out. so.. I’ll be back ^^
Okay, finally you made our day
thank you very much for this cool widget and your commitment!
First of all, cool widget you’ve made, and I think it’s cool that you keep helping people.
I’m trying to implement it to my wordpress blog (v. 2.3.2), with the Leopress theme (http://www.wpthemesfree.com/view.php?theme_id=1710)
I’ve placed the plugin in the plugins folder, and activated it as well. However it doesn’t show up when I try searching.
In the ‘readme.txt’ you write, that you have to remove the original searchfield - is this done by simply removing the file in the theme called ’searchform.php’, or changing in it?
This is how it looks like if it needs change:
<form method=”get” id=”searchform” action=”/” class=”box”>
Search
<input type=”text” name=”s” id=”s” value=”" class=”input-txt” />
Am I supposed to replace any of that with ”?
Please reply to my e-mail
Cool theme
I added an easy way to put the popup below a theme search box. See the readme.txt or the Installation page how to do it. I just changed the searchform.php by adding the following as last item in the < form > tag:
< ?php livesearchpopup_resultsbox("100%") ?>
See my http://test.1stein.org/blog page.
Now it’s working, great - thx!
Hey, i think Ajax Comment Posting Plugin is in conflict with your plugin…That’s weird.
NiO, that’s possible. Most AJAX frameworks conflict with eachother. There is no way around that unfortunately.
Excellent plugin! Works a treat on my site.
One question though, it currently searches posts only, and after installing search_unleashed the live search stopped working. Is there a plugin/workaround to get live search working on pages as well as posts?
Thanks again for a great plugin!

Hi, ..Great plugin, …one problem i cannot solve.
IE7 when you type a search term, then use backspace to remove the word and type a new one, the search results do not update.
If you click outside of the input, and then back in it works again.
Only in IE7

@mog: I see two references to prototype.js in your page, once by live-search-popup and once by lightbox. Can you deactivate the latter for testing? I also get this error in IE, but I don’t have a proper debugger for IE. For sure it’s a “invalid element” error inside prototype. But that’s all I see currently.
Schimmi
Good call there, ..i disabled the lightbox version of prototype and it works, ..i will change the include so that i am only using 1 version of protoype, ..the latest me thinks would be best.
Thank you for your time, ….and if you want a proper de-bugger for IE, ..try a hammer !!
hmm, ..if i remove the lightbox js and have it reference the live-search one i get a crazy never ending recursion error, ..but when have live-search use the lightbox version, live search doesn’t work at all.
Is prototype not supposed to be a standard script?
would it help if i renamed one of the files (i guess not as it still loads in the same functions)
should i attempt to merge the files together into one super prototype file?
..help/advice would be appreciated.
This is an excellent plugin
As mentioned by others, I am having a problem with IE 6, 7.
When I use your search bar in IE 6 or 7, it looks fine. When I search on my site, transparency is not right, and if I have a gif ad in the sidebar, the search shows up behind the image.
I have currently disabled live search, but I can enable it if you want to take a look. Otherwise, could you point me in the right direction to which images to update to get rid of the transparency?
Many thanks,
wilson
@Wilson: You should take a look at the z-index property of CSS. This might do the trick to show the search in front.
The reflection is in /wp-content/plugins/live-search-popup/searchspiegel.png. Hope that helps.

Thanks for the nice plugin!
But I have some kind of a conflict between your plugin and dropdown menu. Everything works, but when I hover over menu, bottom part of my page dissapears. It happens only in IE6 (FF, Opera, Safari - no problem)
Do you have any suggestion why it is happening?
Hi Stefan,
I am just reworking my Wordpress site and your livesearch fits perfect. The only problem is that it doesn’t work. No search results seem to be returned and no errors are reported. I have tried turning off other plugins and with three browsers (Flock, Firefox & Safari) but it seems to make no difference. Any help would be much appreciated. http://www.ecodigerati.com
The search results work: http://ecodigerati.com/content/articles/wp-content/plugins/live-search-popup/search_results.php?s=this So it is a pure JavaScript problem. Looking at the page source I see several prototype.js inclusions. That the AJAX library used by me and many other. Make sure only one plugin is loading it. Maybe that fixes it already.
I continue to have the same problem as others with multiple version of protoype, …when i only use the latest version (1.6) all other plugins function except we still get the same IE7 issue when removing search data from the input with backspace, and entering new data, ..no search is implemented.
I have played around with many version of protoype, …and the results are always the same, ….if i use the version that you supply with the plugin then no other plugins that use protoype function correctly.
Please take a look at http://www.thedrhcolleciton.com in IE7 and let me know what is causing this, …or what function/call in YOUR prototype.js lets this redefining of search criteria using backspace happen, …because it isn’t.
Thanks. ….sorry for being persistent, ..but this appears to be a problem many are having, ..and i love the plugin and do not want to have to drop it form the site.
Danke. Es funktioniert groBes!
Since my site isn’t for general public use, I could care less if IE7 is broken. Thanks again!
*gute
That’s what happens when your german is really poor and you don’t check it on dict.cc!
Two quick questions:
1 - I have installed the plugin on http://www.spacevidcast.com and it appears to be working OK (only 1 post at the moment, so a bit hard to tell.) I was wondering if it would be possible to ad the ‘clear’ option like what apple does on their web site. Left side shows the magnifying glass, right side shows a clear icon when you start searching.
2 - I already have the text ’search’ in my template and don’t need it to appear within the box. Where is that getting generated from? I did a quick look at the code and could not seem to fine it.
Any help would be appreciated… Awesome plugin!
Hi! …oder besser: Hallo!
Bin soeben über dein Plugin gestolpert - feines Teil!
Was ich leider nirgends finden konnte, sind Infos zum Copyright. :o) Erhebst du CR-Ansprüche auf dein Plugin?
Soweit es mein Code ist, steht dieser unter der GPL. Da ich aber auf “Addicted To Live Search” (http://www.wp-plugins-db.org/plugin/addicted-to-live-search/) aufbaue, kann ich dazu leider nichts genaues sagen.
Excuse me if this has been answered before (though I couldn’t seem to find any mention), but how do I review the search logs? Specifically, does Live Search Popup create a log of what blog visitors have been searching for, and thus are most interested in? Thanks for a great plugin.
Just look into your logs for something like this:
212.202.70.2 - - [17/Mar/2008:18:58:30 +0100] “GET /wp-content/plugins/live-search-popup/search_results.php?s=Welt&paged=1 HTTP/1.1″ 200 478 “http://1stein.org/” “Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; de-de) AppleWebKit/523.15.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/3.0.4 Safari/523.15″
Hi,
I have thies problem: the plugin is not active unless I search something “manually”. The next use of it (without refreshing the page ) acts normally… Do you know where this is coming from?

Hi STS, this is a stunning plugin/widgit! It works really, really well! But I do have one question, I’ve got it installed on my WP 2.5 blog now (still in development, so don’t judge to much
) and my live search box won’t recognize the up and down arrow keys like it does on your website here…
Am I doing something wrong? I would love to have my searchbox work like the real spotlight tool! Hopefully you can help!
Thanks,
Jaap
thanks for plugin. perfect
Great plugin, been looking around for something as complete as this it is really good.
Do you know if it’s possible so that it only searches for a specific category, say of id 10.
On top of this is it possible if there could be another search box on a different page that searches only through another specific category?
If either of the two is possible please let me know.
Once again great plugin, really complete and flawless atm, will link back once site is running!!
@Harry: Look into the search_results.php. It is a pretty simple PHP file. Probably it’s not very difficult to change that to search for categories.
Great search plugin! The best among other search plugins I tried before. Installation is easy and straight forward. Mod is easy too. I made some customizations to match my old search box. Feel free to take a look at http://www.lettersforbusiness.com. By the way, I fixed the issue that when mouseover on result in IE, there is no background image or color. What I did was add background image and color on “.livesearchpopup .resultlistitem a:hover”. However, still need to figure out how to get arrow pointer shows up in IE.
Anyway, a very good plugin!
@Tony, thanks for the fix. I commited version 1.4.7 with it.
I’m using Google’s Adsense for Search hence my blog’s search is integrated with Google Search. How do I take advantage of using this plugin (should be Suggest Search - both Google and Yahoo are using this name for a similar feature) on my blog?
thanks,
Danny
Your plugin is very nice ! Thank you ! I’ve just added the following code :
else { s = $('s'); url='index.php?s='+s.value; document.location = url; }in “live_search.js” on line 69, so as to make the return key work.

Hi,great plugin,i love it. I tried to add it to my themes searchbox but the popup box wound up filling up the whole browser screen,weird. I couldnt work that bug out so i just removed the searchbox in my theme and added the live searchbox manually in the sidebar. My question is that i seem to be having a strange problem with blue appearing inside the box,if you could take a look and let me know what you think and how i could fix it id really appreciate it,thanks alot and once again great plugin!

i have added the js code from Cedric, but the return-key still doesnt work, so i always have to use the loupe-button to get results!
Hallo
Ich versuche dein plugin in mein theme einzubauen, doch es gelingt mir nicht wirklich. könntest du mir dabei irgendwelche tipps geben?
Danke
@Marc: Was ist das Problem?
Hallo!
Schön daß ich doch nicht mit meinem grauenvollen English kommunizieren muß! Dein Tool ist echt spitze, außer einer Kleinigkeit! Man kann die Eingabe im Suchfeld nicht mit der Return-Taste abschliessen, sondern kann nur durch Betätigung des Lupen-Buttons die Suche starten! Getestet habe ich am Mac unter Safari und Firefox!
Also bei mir gehts. Ich gebe oben rechts “Mac” ein, drücke Pfeil-runter zum Auswählen und dann Return. Zumindest im Safari so wie es sein soll.
Da hast du mich mißverstanden! Ich meine die Suche ohne Auswahl im Popup-Menü funktioniert nicht mit der Return-Taste, sondern nur durch Betätigung der Lupe! Also einfach oben rechts “Mac” eingeben und die Return-Taste drücken!
Ähem, ja. Stimmt. Könnte man einbauen. Ich vermute, ohne den Code nun genau vor Augen zu haben, dass ich das explizit abfange.
Ich bin ja ein typischer User des Plugins und hab natürlich von javascript nicht wirklich eine Ahnung! kannst du mir einen Tipp geben wie der Code zu modifizieren wäre?
Ich schreibe jetzt auch einfach mal auf Deutsch.
So wie das bei dir aussieht, ist es die hübscheste Live-Suche-Lösung für Wordpress und ich hätte es sehr gerne auch bei mir laufen. Ich habe also das Plugin und das Widget hochgeladen und egal, was ich in der Plugin-Verwaltung zu erst aktiviere, ich kann gleich nach dem Aktivieren des Plugins oder des Widgets das Widget in die Seitenleiste platzieren. Wenn ich zu erst das Plugin aktiviert habe und dann das Widget auch noch nachaktiviere, sagt mir Wordpress:
Das Plugin kann nicht aktiviert werden, da es einen fatalen Fehler erzeugt.
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare livesearchpopup_add() (previously declared in /srv/www/httpd/phost/w/de/pytalhost/winlux/web/blog/wp-content/plugins/live-search-popup/live-search-popup.php:12) in /srv/www/httpd/phost/w/de/pytalhost/winlux/web/blog/wp-content/plugins/widgets/live-search-popup.php on line 21
Wenn ich zu erst das Widget in der Plugin-Verwaltung aktiviere und erst danach das normale Plugin, dann kommt
Das Plugin kann nicht aktiviert werden, da es einen fatalen Fehler erzeugt.
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare livesearchpopup_add() (previously declared in /srv/www/httpd/phost/w/de/pytalhost/winlux/web/blog/wp-content/plugins/widgets/live-search-popup.php:12) in /srv/www/httpd/phost/w/de/pytalhost/winlux/web/blog/wp-content/plugins/live-search-popup/live-search-popup.php on line 21
und so kann ich eben nicht beide aktivieren und in meiner Seitenleiste ist jetzt zwar eine schicke Spotlight-Suche, aber ohne Live-Suche-Funktionalität. Ich verwende WordPress 2.5.1. Es wäre super, wenn Du mir helfen würdest, wenn es nötig ist, geb ich dir auch meine Login-Informationen…
Hey! I just installed your plugin on my website, http://www.deadlydesigns.com, and love it! thanks for the great plugin. One question, is there a way to include wordpress tags in the search? Wordpress tags are new as of 2.3.
Thanks!
Hey great plugin, some reason the search box is getting broken up to different lines like..
left rounded corner next line, entry box, next line, right rounded corner.
any help appreciated
HI,
First, let me say that this is a great plugin. I don’t know much about code (mostly cut and paste) and after getting my site looking right, this plugin broke. I’ve tried everything. It makes the list and even works right, except that when you click on the link it shrinks. If I click at the very top, it goes to the right page. I just want the link to stop shrinking on click. Thanks for any help you can give. And, If you look at my code, I have no doubt that it’s a complete mess…Thanks again.

Hello!
Great pluggin, but buggs on my website
the popup is always On. I can’t resize too. But search works.
I’ve put this code in the searchform.php
<input type=”text” name=”s” id=”s” value=”" onfocus=”clearInput(’s’, ”)” onblur=”clearInput(’s’, ”)” />
website is : http://theloungebook.com/site/
would be really please if you could hep me!
thanks a lot
sorry the code doesnt show on this forum but i’v put : php livesearchpopup_resultsbox(”100px”) below the <input type=”text” name=”s” id=”s”
I love this plug-in but discovered that when I use it AND lightbox 2, lightbox 2 does not work in IE. They work together in Firefox but not IE7. The lightbox 2 builder has this suggestion and I just thought that I would pass it along:
Ask the live search guy to use wp_enqueue_script() to call prototype and/or scriptaculous. That is likely the cause of the incompatibility
@glbuzz: Did you check that it works? If you have a patch for that, I would be happy to integrate it.
Great plugin , 2 simple questions
1) Is there a mini faq on nhow to styilize the search box
2) Your plugin does not play nice when the multibox plugin is activated.
(http://www.rutschmann.biz/php-mysql-javascript-und-ajax/wordpress-multibox-plugin-en#comment-39)
Any solutions ? Thank You !
1) No, there is no Faq. It’s plain CSS. Take a proper CSS-Editor and adapt it to your needs.
2) If you find a solution for that and give me a patch, I am happy to integrate it. Don’t have the time currently to do this research myself. Sorry.
I have tried using this theme…. it doesnt work on my theme though. I have tried using it as a widget and inserting the code in place of my themes search box but I get nothing with both - I was using IE7 and FF2.something and neither of them do anything when I try to search for something; it shows up with search results if I search for something but it does not give the popup effect during the entering of text. I’m not sure what I am doing wrong - please help. This is a pretty cool plugin that I would love to use…..
I really liked the plugin. But I couldn’t help my self to make a little rewrite on my blog:

Awesome plugin.. does exactly what I need.
I’ve run into one small problem though and was hoping to get some help. Im using the
livesearchpopup_resultsbox("150px");version of the code but the problem is that when I have this on, I can no longer hit the “enter” key to see the full results on-screen. When I press the “enter” key nothing happens.. I have to click on the “search” submit button manually in order to see full page results.
Is there a way to get the enter key to work on submission while still using the live pop-up?
thanks
Hey there, awesome plugin but it’s conflicting with jQuery. If the jQuery library script is linked in at the same time as the plugin is in use, the popup doesn’t work. Is there some sort of fix? Something I can do to maybe fix the prototype code you’ve coded? I think both libraries use $ as a selector which is a bit of a worry to start with… But I’ve changed all my $’s in jQuery to ‘jQuery’, and realised that its not my code that’s the problem. Like I said, the jQuery library is stopping the search results. the error console says : line 16 - Value undefined (result of expression s.setAttribute) is not object).
Any help? Thanks!
Fixed! simply add jQuery.noConflict(); at the very top of your JS file!
Hey, first of all cheers for an awesome plugin, I love it!
Anyway I have a problem with my install of Live Search… In Firefox the results drop down render perfectly, but in IE6 + 7 the tags in the sidebar seem to overlap the results.
If I play round with this bit of live_search.css the same problem occurs in Firefox…
#livesearchpopup_box {
.
.
.
filter:alpha(opacity=95);
-moz-opacity:.95;
opacity:.95;
}
Any ideas? I know f.a. about css sorry in advance ;).

Thanks first for this great plug-in. I have questions to ask so please bear with me:
1. Is it possible to put Enter key support into the search field? currently it is not possible to press Enter to search, the only way is to press the magnifying glass to go to the search page.
2. Another problem I am having is the wet floor image (mirrored image) as I have a dark theme and the image looks so bright. I couldn’t control the mirrored image through CSS or even remove it completely.
3. changing .img class in my CSS affected the rounded left corner image and mirrored image.
Thanks again.

Hi!
In
livesearchpopup_add()- would you please consider usingwp_enqueue_styleandwp_enqueue_script- instead of manually adding those files to the header? Those methods help us avoid script collisions and redundant loads.wp_enqueue_script('prototype');is all you need to access all of prototype’s goodness.Thanks!
Hi there
The plugin is fantastic! However, I somehow messed it up - I use some other scripts and plugins, maybe this is a problem…
My website gives two errors when I load it - both are connected to livesearch, I think:
this.inject is not a function
[Break on this error] return this.inject([], function(array, value) {
prototype.js (Linie 698)
Event.observe is not a function
[Break on this error] Event.observe(s, “keypress”, ls.handleKeypress, false)
Because of this, the results never get displayed - or a least, so it seems…. can you help out here?
Check out http://www.hobbes.ch to see it live…
thanks!

Can you upgrade this plugin

Many thanks! Works perfectly with WP 2.6.5 but only after messing around with the permalink structure. If the plugin doesn’t work right out of the box then go to options/permalinks and set to standard. Then switch back to custom structure and it might work.
Hi - great plugin. One question. Is there a way to set the number of letters(characters)? ie. When I start typing in search box, after I put in one letter I am showing results in the popup window. I would like to set it to NOT show results until 3 or 4 letters are typed in. Thanks in advance, Mac
