Issue Summary
Is it possible to filter the view as you type? If you have text field with a view displayed below it, can you update the view's contents as you type?
You can see this type of things with table row filters.
Here is an example:

nope

The reason I'm keeping this issue open is because it would be cool if that was possible. I really don't see it happening with the results as a whole because of paging, multiple elements, and other potential complications. I do think it would be possible to create something like this as a Finder Element with a form widget that is a hybrid of autocomplete and select lists and an ajax table thing.
Then you just need an option to remove the submit button, and some extra styles, to replicate that form exactly.

I'm adding an option to hide submit buttons in the next version. One step at a time I guess.

Here is another example: http://freefreeze.biz/newUI.html
It is provided by this module:
http://drupal.org/project/dynosearcho
Is it possible to recreate the live search that is shown in the video with Finder?

Thanks mate I'll check out that module soon.

In case your interested.

I am guessing you mean like drupalmodules website? The module finder?

I've been thinking that this sort of project could be useful for a whole bunch of modules, not just finder. I wonder perhaps a module can be made to convert select lists into something like this on the fly. That might be worth looking into!
#11
ok scratch that, i've seen some of your other examples and I think i've got the wrong idea, it would be better to ajax the results based on typing in a textfield - might be a nice addition to the finder text module... just have to work out the nicest way to implement it.
some of your examples are achievable just with a themed autocomplete - but I do realise I need to provide more options for that too
still the thing I was talking about could be alright too
#12
Wondering how exactly one might theme the autocomplete dropdown...
Answer:
read the finder_autocomplete.module
#13
@#12: also follow the documentation link on the project page for this module
Postponing this issue for now as we need to get some more basic features working better first.
