The patch does not work for Drupal 6.9.
#2
Edited the patch by hand, it is working in Drupal 6, except within the "Search Block".
Is there any further activity in this module for future ? Seems to be quite a complicated task to get it right in the sense there is large amount of possibilities for sorting the search autocomplete with quite a large number of search keys...
It would be great if the owner enlightens about the overall status and possible direction.
Thanks

This module may need a comaintainer there has been no development on it in CVS since 2007 = http://drupal.org/project/cvs/187985

Seems to be important functionality. The closest modules are "Keyword Autocomplete" and "Autocomplete Node Finder". Thanks for the feedback.

This is nightmare, some of modules are for 5, some are for 6, you could be greatest drupal developer and that would be still struggle to get updated all of the needed modules, now there's gonna be Drupal 7… that's a mess, core updates are too quick and before even half of modules are updated there's new core version, the same thing was with 4.7 and 5.
Which core shall I choose choose then 5 or 6? 5 will be out of support very soon, then 6 modules won't be updated anymore too, because there's gonna be Drupal 7 so most developers will be interested in this new version, nobody's gonna listening me anyway, after all who am I, I'm just an user… I know what u gonna say, that if I have problems I should learn programming and write own module, or perhaps whole cms because this one is free and no one is obliged to help me in any way.

Try not to resemble so much the character, chicken little. The sky is not falling.
Drupal 6.x modules are supported until Drupal 8 is released. People upload modules all the time that are unmaintained. They needed them, they built them, they chose to realase them. This one doesn't seem to be getting alot of love. Which tells me there aren't many people using it, that have the skills to update it. That's not a crime, it's just the way it is. The important modules have been ported from 5 - 6. The modules that are unmaintained are purged.
The code lives on though and when someone with the skills or the desire to obtain the skills comes along who want this module to work, it will be ported. Or a complete replacement will be made.
This particular module never made it to a stable drupal 5.x release which would tell me it wasn't all that popular to begin with.

You can use "Keyword Autocomplete" Module, which provides search autocomplete based on user searches. After certain period of time, the collection of these searches may give better autocomplete functionality than an algorithm trying to get it right with Search Autocomplete.

No need to fret, -Shaman-, I've ported this module to D6. I've also contacted the maintainer and asked if he would like to release it. Until I get a reply, see the attached file.

Fantastic, but it only returns the first word. Is there a way so strings can be searched and returned ?
ie. I type "wa" I get "warrior" returned, but not "warrior writers"
