Extension talk:Search Suggest

Last letter of search term is ignored
For some reason the content of the $term parameter of wfAjaxSearchSuggest is missing the last letter. For example if I enter 'wiki' in the search box, all articles containing 'wik' are returned. You can quickly confirm this by changing the last line of that function from return $html; to return $term; and then entering some search term.

Works only with MW 1.10 ?
Hi, I wonder if this extension just works with MediaWiki 1.10 ? I'm using MW 1.11.1 and this extension works not.

Any idea?

Spaces vs Underscores

 * I noticed that articles that have spaces in their names will require the underscore character. Without it the search is broken.

Suggestion: Autocomplete Replacement

 * It would be great if browser autocomplete could be disabled and traded for an overlaying version of your search tool.
 * Example: Google Suggest

Changes to .js & .css for overlay
On my installation I made a few changes to the .js file and .css for an overlay effect. I don't think it is perfect yet, but I definitly think it looks more like a search tool. If only I could figure out how to allow the arrow keys to use it now.

Here is mycode with the changes that worked for me:

searchsuggest.js:

style.css
