Impressive. The default drop down search results scheme didn't suit the site styling so changed the mod_pixsearch.css file found here:

Ease of use

public_html/mysite/modules/mod_pixsearch/media/css/

Very easy to use and good results on the front end.

I used this to: so visitors can search a nonprofit information site with 300 large articles.

Don't work normally in Joomla 3.x

Extesion is a simple, easy to configure .... perfect

I have used this and still do on a J 1.5 website and it works excellent!

Had to spend some time to tweak it up to my requirements, but it works and looks great now. And by tweak I mean only CSS styling, nothing too complex.

If you understand CSS and a little bit of HTML you'll have no problems to set it up.

As I'm migrating my website to J2.5 I'll most definitely use the module again.

Highly recommended.

Nice extension

4 Stars from me! easy to install and use.

but unfortunately i won't use it as it doesn't have category/article exclusion from results....but looking forward to adding these features in the near future, it will be worth even paying it :)

good job.

Big thanks!!!
