I've taken over this add-on from @Daniel Hood, and it's now available on my site, Atelier Aphelion, for purchase and download. All future versions will be there, as well.

If you have a current license for this add-on, you can register it there (instructions are available here). You'll get a license from me (terms here), for the remaining duration of your original license, plus another 30 days - just a friendly gesture because of the inevitable delays caused by the hand-over.

My plan is to review and update this add-on to address any outstanding issues. Because I've taken over almost all of @Daniel Hood's add-ons, it might take me a while to get to this one.

To improve support, the requirements for this add-on have been updated:

• php 5.4+
• Xenforo 1.3+

What's New:

• Fixed an error that resulted in an "unspecified error" when there were no results.
• Fixed the advanced search page's auto complete functionality.

What's New:

• Added the autocomplete functionality to the advanced search page.
• Made it so when you select a result it automatically searches rather than populating the input box and requiring you to press enter again (this works with clicking a result or using up and down keys to highlight a result and pressing enter).
• Made it so that there isn't a result selected by default when you're typing which allows your visitors to press enter to submit the form rather than pressing enter and the bar being filled with the first result.

This is a javascript change so you need to make sure the javascript file is recached.
