Any idea how to make quicksearch behave like search on this website.

right now quicksearch does search dynamically, but it doesn't allow keyboard navigation through the result like that site does.

Holy Cow. It's neat, but requires a huge Javascript to support it. View source and have a look; all that would need to be duplicated to provide the same functionality.

And the site scrolls slow on my computer, besides.

it is cool
all i need is the keyboard capability. the rest is already thre.

But the livesearch plugin does allow to use keyboard navigation?!?!

hmm i was using live search on S9Y blog and dind't seem to allow keyboard navigation

Go to my blog at http://blog.garv.in/ and enter "emba" in the searchbox on the right as soon as it's green bordered.

Wait until results appear. Then press the "down arrow" key on your keyboard...is this what you're looking for?

how do i get quicksearch to display outside the sidebar. perhaps in the footer. I cannot use CSS to do that. cause it is wrapped around the sidebar class.

You might need to edit the javascript of the livesearch plugin.

You can set the quicksearch plugin to "hidden" and call the plugin within your *.tpl files wherever you like, via the {smarty_showPlugin} function. See the docs for specifics.

unable to find the smarty function u mentioned

So hide the current quicksearch plugins by using display:none
and change the javascript and give it a new name and all.

Look here: http://www.s9y.org/78.html, the third function.
