<p>This plugin adds Spotlight ™ like live search with an ajax popup to<br />
the default search box. See the screenshot.</p>
<p>It can be used as a widget or directly as a PHP call in the theme.</p>
<p>The Live Search Plugin is heavily based on John Nunemaker’s<br />
<a href="http://www.wp-plugins-db.org/plugin/addicted-to-live-search/" rel="nofollow ugc">Addicted To Live Search</a>.</p>
<h4>Changelog</h4>
<ul>
<li>1.4.7 Fix by Tony for “With mouseover on result in IE, there is no background image or color”.</li>
<li>1.4.6 Added livesearchpopup_resultsbox(width) to put the popup below a search box of your choice, e.g. from a theme.</li>
<li>1.4.5 Do not initialize if no livesearchpopup_results is found. In contrast to the original live search this plugin does not make sense without the popup anyway. This fixes a JavaScript bug in IE7.</li>
<li>1.4.4 Use wpurl instead of siteurl to allow installations of WordPress at different addresses (thanks to Draco)</li>
<li>1.4.3 Use <?php instead of <? in live-search-popup.php</li>
<li>1.4.2 Force update script to update the plugin.</li>
<li>1.4.1 Switched to the_post instead of the deprecated wp_start().</li>
<li>1.4 Finally permalinks work together with this plugin. In addition a “Show all” links was added at the bottom for the case that there are more posts than shown in the popup (thanks to Marco Luthe).</li>
<li>1.3.4 Moved the placeholder and autocomplete attributes of the search box to JavaScript as they are not XHTML valid (thanks to Marco Luthe)</li>
<li>1.3.3 Added some print commands in front of get_bloginfos (thanks to upekshapriya who noticed that)</li>
<li>1.3.2 Force update script to update the plugin.</li>
<li>1.3.1 Relative paths in css to allow installation which are not at the domain root.</li>
<li>1.3 Fixed behaviour for change and blur events of the search box. This fixes the “click-through” bug.</li>
<li>1.2.1 Updated to reflect that it works with 2.3 as well.</li>
<li>1.2 Bugfixes</li>
<li>1.1 Bugfixes</li>
<li>1.0 First release</li>
</ul>


Live Search Popup

Spotlight (tm) like live search with an ajax popup

<p>Relevanssi Live Ajax Search enables ajax live search for your search forms. It won’t swamp you with settings, and generally, Relevanssi Live Ajax Search works without any modifications necessary. If you want to customize it, you have complete control over how it works and what it does.</p>
<p>Relevanssi Live Ajax Search displays the search results using templates. You can easily override the default templates from your theme to make the results look the way you want them to look.</p>
<h4>Works best with Relevanssi</h4>
<p>Relevanssi Live Ajax Search only provides you with live search results. To get really good results, use <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/relevanssi/" rel="ugc">Relevanssi</a>, <a href="https://www.relevanssi.com/buy-premium/" rel="nofollow ugc">Relevanssi Premium</a> or <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/relevanssi-light/" rel="ugc">Relevanssi Light</a>. Relevanssi Live Ajax Search automatically uses Relevanssi to power the search results if Relevanssi is installed and active. However, you don’t need Relevanssi; Relevanssi Live Ajax Search also works with the default WP search.</p>
<h4>Changes from SearchWP Live Ajax Search</h4>
<p>Relevanssi Live Ajax Search is a fork of <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/searchwp-live-ajax-search/" rel="ugc">SearchWP Live Ajax Search</a>. I forked it from version 1.6.1 because it looked like SearchWP Live Ajax Search wasn’t getting updates anymore. I also wanted to improve the Relevanssi compatibility.</p>
<p>Relevanssi Live Ajax Search drops all SearchWP compatibility. You can use SearchWP Live Ajax Search, which has built-in SearchWP support.</p>
<p>The widget has also been removed. It was unnecessary and outdated.</p>
<p>Relevanssi Live Ajax Search can now take over the Gutenberg <code>core/search</code> search form.</p>
