WP Instant

WP Instant is deprecated and will be removed from the plugin directory on October 9, 2023, 12 years after its first release. You can find my other plugins on my WordPress profile page.

Integrates a Google Instant Search to your blog. The wp-instant plugin uses the Ajax.Updater function of script.aculo.us and the Form.Element.DelayedObserver class. A jQuery implementation will be following soon.
