Porting Live Search to D6?

It will be ported very soon, but because of this, can you test the latest development snapshot? If it works well, then I would start porting it to Drupal 6.

I'm delighted to see this being used religiously on your site. Can you provide a link? I'd love to see it. Maybe I should start a "sites that use Live Search" list?

I would be interested, too, and I will test the HEAD on a 6.2 site as soon as I have current issues solved.

It will be a challange, though, I guess, since I'd love to see the form in the upper right "topbar" I created in the relevant theme and have the results shown in #content-inner. Now the fun part comes in: That #content-inner div is fixed hight and

#content-inner
{
   overflow-x: hidden;
   overflow-y: auto;
}

Would you rather say "yeah, right, dream on" or "interesting, could be done"? :)

The site I'm talking about is the one of Noisome Paste. NOTE: no content access while in development, but you should get the idea. I'd be happy to see the site in your "showroom" when it works.

Btw. there is a, in a way, similar module that might be of interest: Teleport.

I'd be willing to test this out as well. I've been using it on pixelignition.net, which I'm anxious to update to 6. However I won't update until I can use this module with it.

@thomas23: Yes, that is possible, but since themes can be extremely versatile in layouts, I simply can't write code that's aiming for handling all possible themes. On the Live Search project page, I wrote that Live Search might break your layout precisely because of this. While it would be awesome and nice if Live Search would work right out of the box when dropped into your typical, highly customized Drupal site, that is still not something that can be achieved right now.
However, the HEAD version does allow you to specify a custom element where you want the results to be injected into instead. So it might suit your needs.
As for Teleport, I'd say the goals are different. Teleport aims to provide Quicksilver-esque navigation for admins, while Live Search is intended to let normal site users search a Drupal site in a more Web 2.0 way.

@ktonini: Don't worry, I'll port this soon. Please refer to this.

For the latest status regarding the Drupal 6 port, please refer to this.

kourge, you said 11 days ago

If no bugs are reported in three (3) days, I'll start porting Live Search to Drupal 6.

Any news regarting the port? Could you start it or where there new bugs so the port is delayed?

Cheers.

Any updates on the D6 version?

Hello, this module could be interesting for the Drupal.org redesign, so I tag it "drupal.org redesign". We should work on the D6 porting and blocking issues soon.

I should be able to get a working beta done by the end of this week.

The drupal.org design mentioned as related: http://infrastructure.drupal.org/drupal.org-style-guide/prototype/commun...

Hi kourge,

I have created a Drupal 6 module that's very similar to this one.. You might be interested in taking a look at it.. maybe we can work on it together under Live Search project.

Module is attached.. i'd be glad to hear your feedback.

Regards,

is there still a maintainer?

Linking this from the Redesign project #661686: Meta issue for Live Search because this issue was tagged 'drupal.org redesign'

is there still a maintainer?

I've installed handy_search and nothing, nothing happens. I assumed it would generate a block. Wrote a direct message to commentator, no reply

Don't think this is a blocker for the d.o redesign.

So yeah, I don't think this is going to happen.

In other news, check out this: http://drupal.org/project/inline_ajax_search

And maybe this too: http://drupal.org/project/faceted_ajax_search

Also there is now http://drupal.org/project/autosuggest
