Hi All,
I'm a little bit confused...
What this extension is doing other than $wgAjaxSearch=true in localsetting.php is doing?
I think if we put that in localsetting.php, it does the same thing as of this extension.. Or am I mistaken?

I just updated the code. it should work out of the box now.
I added configuration to it in the php file. You can select the number of results that come back. You can select to search in the entire article name (default), or just in the beginning of the name.
The results are now links to the articles, so you can just click on them.
As for the Javascript. I trimmed it down, and: Required 2 characters before search is done. (max 10 incase something leans on the keyboard) Enables a memory system so it will not search if the last search was the same.

In general, I might wait to trigger the search until more characters have been entered. 1 seems like overkill; how useful will the suggestions be when you type 'e'?
In Firefox, the browser's autocomplete tries to run, and sits on top of what the extension is doing. I wonder if that can be suppressed.

It is very close. Except, the built in wgAjaxSearch wipes out the entire content of a page when you start to type. The page content does not come back until you actually do a complete search, and reload the page.
This extension does the same search, except it places the results in a non obtrusive place, IE below the the search. The search also searches the entire name of articles, not just the beginning. So... searching for foam will return both foam-core and working with foam-core.
Other places have a very similar search, but it uses Yahoo's javascript library and is 200k of code.

Although the search from $wgAjaxSearch = true is prettier at this stage, I like where Adam puts the hits, and I like the more complete search (and that's working from his first version... I haven't recopied his code yet). What I'd like even better is one that works like the autocomplete at http://wormbase.org, where the results create a dropdown menu over the search box, and you can arrow-key down to select the one you want. I was at there when the wormbase programmers implemented this, and IIRC they had to tinker with the yahoo libraries to get it to act more like the google suggest. I'm not completely sure whether that's what they did in the end. I know they started with some open source js libraries and tweaked them. An important thing was to not have the autocomplete actually fill the search box unless the user actively selected the suggestion. They didn't do that initially and had a major revolt from their users, which is why they have the checkbox to provide an option to turn it off.
I'm bad a js, so I don't know if you can extract the relevant code from the website in a way that's useful.

Sorry about the long threads, I sometimes forget some people use the digest.
I had something very similar to that on my site before I made this extension. The reason I made this guy was because what I had before was 200K. That was just too much for me. I noticed it really slowed down my site load times. I can try to make it more like that one.
I also do not know JS. But I didn't know php before this summer. I just look at my projects as what I want to do, then i learn how to do it. Give me a few months, I may have it down.
But that said, anyone who is interested in helping with this I would love it, -Adam
