A Live Search feature has been added. This search box is located just below the navigation menu of every page (see attached image).

When you double-click within this box, you can type a search word (minimum three characters). Thereafter, a real-time search of the forums will result in a window pop-up to the left which displays threads which include the word and/or word fragment within the thread title. Note that this search is focused on thread titles only, and will not list search hits based on post content. If you neglect to double-click before initiating the search, clicking again thereafter within the text box or on the adjacent magnifying glass will suffice.

Having just learned how to both record computer screen activity to video and embed the resultant QuickTime file within TLO, I quickly prepared a tutorial overview of the Live Search function.

I realize that the text is not legible with the resolution utilized. This method could be a great tutorial aid, however, if I can improve on the result. You must have QuickTime (http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/) installed in order to view the video.

This feature does not appear to be working in Internet Explorer. Has it ever been working within this browser? I am trying to figure out if I broke it while tweaking.

I'm not sure whether I'm using Internet Explorer, but the feature seems to be working for me.
