If this feature doesn't work when you type site address without www. then this fix should work for you.
Credits to Dge-06 for the code.

in catalog/include/configure.php

replace
define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://yourdomain.com');

by

$site_url = $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'];

switch($site_url) {

case "yourdomain.com":
define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://yourdomain.com');
break;
case "www.yourdomain.com":
define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.yourdomain.com');
break;
}

NOT a full package.

KISS Error Handling & Debugging version 1.0 problem

If you use this debugging to screen output autocomplete cant use $_GET so nothing happen.

use self switch:
define( 'KISS_ERROR_REPORTING_GET_SWITCH', 'tgely' );


or
define( 'KISS_ERROR_REPORTING_OUTPUT', 'file' );


Keep oneday work! ;-)
Cheers

I need to install this contribution but i cat find some files and codes.

For example in header i can´t find the code, i can´t find the /catalog/includes/modules/boxes/bm_search.php to.

Thanks

When selecting an Autocomplete item from the list, instead of the search result displaying many items i've included quotes in the script to find the exact match.
(This is the normal search function of oscommerce, to enclose keyword with quotes to find exact match)

Works well. Tested with oscommerce 2.3.1 on IE8.
(Modified script included within text file in the zip package. Thanks to original author)

Fix on submit link not working properly:

Change the code to this:

<script>

$(function() {
$("#search").autocomplete({
source: "autocomplete.php",
minLength: 2,
select: function(event, ui) {
}
$("#search").val(ui.item.value); document.quick_find.submit();
}}});});
</script>

Tested on IE8, IE9, Chrome, FF 3.6 and FF 4.

Complete Package

Very nice but dont work on internet explorer!

Only in firefox...

To go directly on the search page result:

Change to:

<script type="text/javascript">$(function(){$("#search").autocomplete({source: "autocomplete.php",minLength: 2,select: function(event, ui) {
if (ui.item) {
$("#search").val(ui.item.value);
$("quick_find").submit();
}}});});</script>

Improvement suggestion
Remove duplicates
Ioannis http://www.jbaron.gr

if you have products with the same name but different, lets say, model, it is better to remove the duplicates

Just change :

print json_encode($return_arr);

to:

print json_encode(array_unique($return_arr));

With this easy mod, is possible to use the jquery UI autocomplete feature on the oscommerce search box in 3 easy steps
