Ajax Search Suggest - can´t download - mods

[bugnet]

Hi there,
I was trying to download Ajax Search Suggest actual version from http://www.advancewebsoft.com/solutions/oscommerce/oscommerce-contributions/ajax-search-suggest-for-oscommerce-p.html

but I get nothing more than an empty .zip file, what am I doing wrong ?

other, I was wondering a mod, trying to change some way Ajax search suggest works, instead of searching for keyword%, search as %keyword% since many products where listed starting with manufacturers name, and major situations customers type stuff to search within the title, not only the start of it, and for this we need to suggest start ignoring less than (an idea) 4 characters typen (or will get lots and lots of suggests and loads before it), I´ve tried that on Js of handleKeyup(e) function without any success, Js seens to ignore even when I put some condition for the rest of script to run like this

Code:

var keylen = document.getElementById("keyword").value.length;
 if(keylen >= 5) {

any help here ?
thanks,
David

Hello bugnet,

The download works fine, we've checked everything.

As for the mod, the term "suggest" actually means that mod will suggest the next few words of your search term, not the pre-words.
Google did suggestions first, look how they are working with it. Finally, if you still wish to do such a mod (let us call it not a suggest, but a simple search I guess then), you need to turn off the auto-complete feature (as it has almost no sense in this case) and modify the script to show
search results properly. The code is open, you can modify it as long as you need, go ahead and try.

If you succeed, post up the demo here, everyone will be glad to look at the results.

I still can´t download actual version, got only an empty file

anyway I done my homework, was trying to do that on HandleKeyup function, but it should be on getSuggestions function, like that

search.php

Code:

function getSuggestions(keyword)
{ 
 if(document.getElementById("keyword").value.length > 5) {
  /* continue if keyword isn't null and the last pressed key wasn't up or
....

and a bracket downthere before function end bracket ( } )


another changes done to become more Oscommerce standard compatable, to get ONLY ACTIVE products (to avoid getting some unactive, and samples that I have on admin side but not on website) and to search within the title on suggest.php, around line 14 change to

...
    if($keyword != '')
      $query = 'SELECT pd.products_name, pd.products_id, pd.language_id, p.products_id, p.products_status ' .
               'FROM ' . TABLE_PRODUCTS_DESCRIPTION . ' pd INNER JOIN ' . TABLE_PRODUCTS . ' p ON p.products_id = pd.products_id ' .
               'WHERE pd.products_name LIKE "%' . $keyword . '%" and pd.language_id = "'.$languages_id.'" and p.products_status = 1';
    // if the keyword is empty build a SQL query that will return no results
