Here are some starting points

It would be great if this could do a contains search as well.

Yes I have been meaning to do a re-write using jQuery. It will be done, but no promises on how soon that will be.

I have re-written it as a jQuery plugin, and it did shrink the .js file size by 1/3. The functionality is the same as before, and the Drupal interface remains mostly unchanged. It's in 6.x-1.4-beta1.

Actually, now as I read your note again, I am not sure what you mean by "contains search". Sorry, I should have asked earlier. If you meant searching the list for partial matches (i.e. "pup" matches "puppet", "puppy", "pup"), then it already does that.

By partial search, I mean if the title is "puppy dog" it would return that node when you do a search for "dog" or even "ppy"
