Instant Search

[lat9]

So why does it not work? I know how to troubleshoot CSS problems but there's nothing showing for me to look at.

AND if it doesn't work "out of the box" or for the responsive template and stumps an experienced person, I'm not sure I see the value here. I'm not accustomed to giving up but ....

Do you have a customized template? The Instant Search plugin's jQuery/javascript is looking for changes to, by default, an input field named 'keyword' in order to send changes from that keyword-entry back to the site to gather matching products.

FWIW, the default responsive_classic uses the template_default/sideboxes/tpl_search.php and tpl_search_header.php to render the search-related sideboxes'. In both cases, an input field named 'keyword' is created to accept the customer's search keywords.
