lala rock:
and BTW here is the link to my site https://spares.cncmachinery.com.au
The words get cut off because the product name is too big to fit into the search box, so infact it gets hidden under the next line.
sometimes you can just about see these words so if you want to show or hide them then you need to increase/decrease the line-height or decrease/increase the height value in instantSearch.css for .resultsContainer a
to sort out the screen resolution problem backup and replace your instantSearch.js with the following:

//This jScript file is used to create our instant search box

//this function creates the link back to the matching products or categories
function generateLink(productORcategory, productCategoryID)
{
var l = "";
if (productORcategory == "p"){
l = "index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=" + productCategoryID;
}else{
l = "index.php?main_page=index&cPath=" + productCategoryID;
}
return l;
}
function highlightWord(findTxt,replaceTxt)
{
var f = findTxt.toLowerCase();
var r = replaceTxt.toLowerCase();
var regex = new RegExp('(' + f + ')', 'i');
return r.replace(regex, '<span class="thinFont" style="background-color:#f8ee4e; border:1px solid #fff;">' + f + '</span>')
}
function formatNumber(num)
{
return num.toString().replace(/(\d)(?=(\d\d\d)+(?!\d))/g, "$1,");
}
then locate and change the values for:
var offset_left = 280;
var offset_top = 0;
and change them to your desired positions i.e if i want my box to be 30px left and 20px top then:
var offset_left = 30;
var offset_top = 20;
