Does anyone know if there is a plugin to support live searching? http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page has this feature, but I have never seen an extension for this. Anyone know how this done? -Adam

You can see the javascript for this at http://www.wikia.com/skins/wikia/js/main.js It relies on the Yahoo! User Interface Library <http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/> Angela

Is the YUI dependence for the purpose of the slide-down animation more than anything else; the search itself is fairly easily doable with our existing Ajax framework. I'm thinking this could make a nice independent extension. Rob Church

Well I have to say I REALLY like this functionality. One of the problems with search is knowing what there is to find. This gives the user visibility of what is available and in some ways might prompt them to look at articles they hadn't even thought of. So, is there anyone out there willing to integrate it into a soon to be launched 1.9 site as a paid project? Alternatively, and in light of the fact this is a community, I am happy to contribute to having someone produce the extension Rob refers to. Many thanks, Paul On 8/15/07 4:31 PM, "Rob Church" <robchur(a)gmail.com> wrote:

Ill contribute $10 to the cause. I think this is one of the most valuable tools I have seen. -Adam On Aug 16, 2007, at 10:11 PM, Paul Coghlan wrote:

I'll just quote a small part of a private email from Angela here (and I'm sure she won't mind, although if she does, well...I apologise): "Inez at Wikia is working on making this into an extension" Rob Church
