autocomplete search

Hi to everybody!
I guess MODx is already a very developed tool not only for techies but also for mainstream cms users (I know, I shouldn’t call it a cms . It seems this is exactly what I have been looking for.

At the moment, I could only think of one thing which I would like to give a different look: the search function.
Does anybody know if there already is or will be an ajax search with autocomplete function like Google Suggest? That would be another huge plus for MODx, I guess.

try AjaxSearch, it is in the repo: http://www.modxcms.com/AjaxSearch-490.html

Hi MrDutchy and thank you for your quick reply!
I saw AjaxSearch in my basis installation and thought it might be exactly what I needed, but I couldn’t find an autocomplete function (of course I am still absolutely unknowing and maybe just don’t get how to make it work). Do you think I should better place my both wishes into the "Commercial Inquiries & Bounties" section?

It is able to do what you wish though. Have you checked the documentation or the wiki for this?

EDIT: The wiki does not seem to contain any further info on AjaxSearch, please ignore my comment

If you want something that isn’t available yet and which you need in the near future? definately!
