Is there a way to add the ajax search suggestion to an inputbox? Thanks

I would like to know this too.
In my eyes the search is no fun if there's no autocompletion / suggestions...

I have found a hack to add ajax suggestions to any inputbox. You must add the following code to your MediaWiki:Common.js, and refresh browser cache.

document.getElementById('searchform').action = '/w/index.php';
document.getElementsByName('search')[0].id = 'searchInput';

This hack could drive an server error if don't replace by your article path which could be : wiki or w or index.php or anything else you have configurerd.

In the example above the article path is just w
