EE Livesearch
Development and Programming
This is such a great and useful extension!
One thing I didn’t like tho was the styling so I updated it. If you would like the code I have pasted the change below. Look in ext.livesearch.php around line 450 and change the css to:
$new_styles = "
#livesearch-query { background:#26333B; font-weight:bold; padding:5px; border:1px solid #3D525F; color:#45A7DC;}
.grey { color:#999; }
#livesearch-results a { color:#1D7FC6; }
#livesearch-results {
position:absolute;
top:38px;
right:30px;
width:210px;
background:#fff;
padding:0;
list-style:none;
text-align:left;
color:#333;
border:1px solid #ccc;
font-size:11px;
}
#livesearch-results div {
color:white;
font-size:11px;
font-weight:bold;
padding:7px 6px;
background:#768E9D url(".$img_path."bg_table_heading.gif) repeat-x scroll left bottom
}
#livesearch-results ol { margin-left:0; margin-top:0; padding-left:0; list-style-position:inside; }
#livesearch-results ol li { padding:5px 5px; }
/*#livesearch-results ol li:hover,*/
#livesearch-results ol li.selected {background:#EEF4F9; }
";
Hey Paul,
I’m running LIve Search fine on EE 1.6.2 so I don’t think its causing the issue. What else do you have installed?
Cheers
Hi Mark, I’ve recently had a bit of an issue with regard to moving a site to a new server. I’ve narrowed down a “display” problem to a conflict (EE 1.6.2) with extensions and the one I believe is preventing the Control Panel from displaying seems to be Live Search. If I delete the extension entirely, upon login, I get an error message stating “live search extension can’t be found”. What else, files, etc. need to be deleted in order to remove Live Search entirely? thanks, -pUpdate: Remove tables from database
Does anyone know of a similar plugin for the front end?
Thanks!

I agree - I’m getting requests for this sort of thing now, and I don’t have a “go-to” solution for live search on the front end. Wondering how hard it would be to take what Mark has done and apply to the front end?
Works great right out of the “box”.
Why does the documentation redirect to <http://hcphilly.com> where there is nothing?
Got this working on the admin side of things.
Has anyone implemented it on the site side of things that visitors can use to search entries?

I believe there is a front-end solution for this. I’m not sure if this is what you guys are looking for, but it seems to actually be quite popular as well. It’s the Live Search Plugin for ExpressionEngine.
Hope this helps! :D
This works perfectly, and shows on every page in my admin, nice work!
What would I need to do to make this work on only one page of my CP, as I want to put it to one page and not every single one? I have a custom module and was hoping to call it from within my mcp to put on a specific page.
I can see where it is appending the search to the new tabs lang call, but wondering is there another way to do this? I tried simply changing the lang call to one on my custom view, but to no avail.
Any hints or pointers would be great.
