Managed to improve the Contact List search function a bit this week by adding in the Live Search feature, where the server gets search results as the user types in his/her search request.

So for instance, here’s the contact list:

And as I type in “sh” in to the name search box, the server immediately displays contacts with “sh” in their names right below.

Is that cool or what! But after the search result is displayed, the cursor seems to stop focusing on search box, and the user has to click in the box again and continue typing. BLEH! Will fix that later.
