Live searching done right…ish
From Library clips:
Basically it is a search box for your site, that auto-suggests search terms as you type…these suggested search terms are actually subject terms based on a thesaurus or lexicon that you have programmed into your LookAhead site search tool.
If you don’t have a controlled vocabulary to import into the tool, they also have a service called Lex-It which will generate a lexicon for you (obviously not as effective as human indexing or thesaurus construction).
It’s exactly what I was talking about. Only really, really clunky. Really clunky.
So who’s the WordPress wiseguy who’s going to one-up this for free?
