[…] When I updated to version 2.0.3 of wordpress, I came across a some ajax plugins. Live search 1.2 seemed great, but the version just did not work as described…. bummer… so I came across Ajaxsearch 0.1 and surprise, surprise, it actually worked. The idea behind Ajaxsearch, intentionally or not, is very smart. […]

check out my site and try the search. as soon i start typing into the textbox this shows up:

Warning: mysql_connect(): Can’t connect to local MySQL server through socket ‘/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock’ (2) in /nfs/cust/8/98/40/504898/web/edge/ajaxsearch.php on line 25
Sorry, search is not available.

then when i take the text out it goes away. i followed the instructions exactly a couple times and the same thing happened.

thanks

Mir - Take a look at my site, http://www.dormitem.com and check out the AJAX search feature in the middle of the page. It does exactly what you said, and queries against a mysql.

I am trying to add this to my web site, is it possible to customize this search for mysql database instead of drupal or wordpress.

what i want is when a user types something in the search box, the ajax search should query against the database table and bring back row ids.

Thanks for the help anybody can provide.

I also get the “Sorry, the search is not available.” message. It will search the site if I hit return, but the search is not live. Any clues as to why it’s not working?

Thanks.

I have uploaded the files in the root directory of my blog, added the code, but when I do a search it responds with “Sorry, the search is not available.” What did I do wrong?

I think you’ve got a much simpler/better implementation than LiveSearch. I wasted a ton of time yesterday trying to get that LiveSearch plugin working, with nothing to show for it. Then I did some Googling and found your site, and within 5 minutes I had a working search. Granted I had to do some tweaking to make it fit within my design, but I think you’ve got a great base here.

You may have reinvented the wheel, but I think you’re using vulcanized rubber while the other guys have wood around their spokes.
