I've enabled Active Search but Drupal search did not get Ajaxy - not in the block, and not in the theme. So how should Active Search be used?

And, what's the difference between Active Search and what the module Live Search provides?

Are you using IE? If so, maybe it's this issue: http://drupal.org/node/165787, and you need to use the HEAD or 5.x dev version.

Tried both FF and IE, no Ajax search. Should it work in the block as well as in the theme search box?
Perhaps a telling sign - there's no little circle in the search box - should there be?
( I also tested Live Search. Naturally I switched that off when I wanted to test Active Search. )

Also, can you please explain what differences do you see between Active Search and the Live Search module, please?

Did you enable active search for the appropriate roles in access control?

Users need the "use advanced search" permission provided by search module. Does assigning that permission resolve the issue?

I got the same problem. Permission already set for both active search & the core advance search but no ajax.
