Works Great

Out of the box, this just works. However, if you use special characters on your site, you could run into some issues with encoding. For example, one article I have named "Products & Services" will not show up if you search for "Products & Services" or "Products and Services", but does display when typing "Products Services".

Great Extension



Posted on 14 March 2012
I've used this free extension on about 10 sites with Joomla 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, and 2.5. I've only ever had a handful of issues with it, and those were always template related. 90% of the time is works exceptionally and straight out of the box. Another nice thing about it is that most templates comes with custom search boxes already, and you can set you module suffix to match your templates setting in this module with no issues.



The complaints I see here in the reviews don't make a lot of sense to me personally, maybe they're having problems with other plugins they have creating conflicts?



Anyways, you can see where on one site I made at boisebarguide.com I deleted the default search module, installed rokajaxsearch and set it to the search position using their dark theme style. It was literally that quick, took about 30 seconds and I had nice ajax driven search that matches the template. I wish every other module worked this well.

NOT WORKING



Posted on 20 February 2012
Absolutely not working with J1.7.5

Tested with fresh setup sites with clean mysql, after setup you can`t see this module in the module list. Not recommended.
Owner's reply: Currently, on installation, our extensions do not appear in the main module list of the Module Manager. Rest assured, the module has been installed, and you just need to select New > RokAjaxSearch then configure, to use the module.

Killer search feature

This search addon does the job just like all the other Rok extensions. Nothing beats real time Ajax search results, and with a little CSS modification, you can make it appear how you want on your site. Must have module.

Conflicts



Posted on 22 August 2011
I used this extension, got everything set up but unfortunately it causes a conflict with News Pro Gk4 module. It changes it's size and options.



I know it is this module as I unpublished, published, unpublished and so on.. and I am 120% confident that RokAjaxSearch causes the conflict.



It's a shame, as I only noticed the conflict once I had everything set up..Now I have to find another one

Sweet....

Made me happy 'searcher'

The module performs very well on my site. Clean, easily understandable JS/CSS code, easy to customize to your needs. Definitely 5 stars.

...and I'll add +1 star (provided I can find it on this cloudy winter-sky) if you turns this excellent module into Joomla 1.6 native!

Thanks!

You just made my day

You just made my day (night)... I've installed the module on my site some time ago, and I was so fascinated. Today I decided to migrate all my content to K2, but I was afraid of the K2 search possibilities, and really didn't want то part with ypur module... but no, no, no...

RokAjaxSearch searches in K2 Items with such ease!

Thank you!!!

OMG
