How does the Live-Search (Engine-Select) addon work?
‘Live-Search’ (Engine-Select) addons simply adds some extra elegance to the search. It lets you show a dynamically generated search-box with all the available engine-modules from where the visitor can make a search by choosing them selectively. When a search is in progress; it can show live search status (using javascript and images). It also lets you show some statistical report on the search process like how many results returned, which engine-modules successfully returned results, which engine-modules timed-out, total results etc. With this addon you can optionally assign a maximum number of engine-modules to be searched at a time. If you have lots of engine-modules and assign a number lower than the total number of engine-modules installed; it will create a stepping-search by using a certain number of engine-modules and que the remaining ones to continue the search.
