Start typing in one of the text boxes below.

Features:

Query Delay

Only executes the callback after a delay (default is 250ms) so that fast typers won't drown your website with too many calls.

Minimum Search Length

Specify a minimum search length (default is 3 characters) so that your system doesn't get incomplete and broad searches.

Initial text

Display initial text (default is "Search") that is automatically cleared when a user focuses on the text input.
Style this by using the class "inactive_search".

Multiple Instances

This plugin written so that you can have multiple live search text inputs on the same page.
