Search Drop Down Feature?

By Rob

Hi All,

While thinking on about our elgg based site's end user usability, would it be possible to have something like I recall was possible with Joomla and that is;

When a user starts to key in letters / words within the elgg search field box, it begins to offer search hints / results directly dropping down from the search box.

I have found something similar here Put something in the search box in the top right hand side to see it. It will perform a backend AJAX Query to the core component com_search (Joomla's obviously) and display the results instantly while typing in an inputbox.

I really liked that feature from what I saw of it and it helps speed up an end users search time in my honest opinion and again time is key for both us as admin's but also the end users and I think that feature could really be very attractive to our end users, what do you think?

I'm inetersted to hear your thoughts and to see if it's got any legs in it within elgg sites.

Regards,
