Instant search results

When you type at least 4 characters into Shack Search, you'll get instant search results.

Shack Search will show a preview of each search result, plus a link that your visitor can click to see more.

Powerful options

Shack Search is full of useful options. You can control the order of search results (Latest, Most Popular etc), searching for partial matches, and much more.

Also, Shack Search supports every other Joomla extension. If your extension works with the default Joomla search, it will work with Shack Search too.

Functionality
article anchor tag must be placed in the article title, not in the category title. I cannot able to modify the link.
Ease of use
yes, but not possible to edit the result
Support
not good, developers website doesn't allow to submit the question
Documentation

Works fine, after testing several extension s of this kind, it's the only one to workin my case ( I use it with fabrik and Joomla! 3.5.1)
Ease of use
Very easy
Documentation
I used this to: With a website using fabrik and I retrieve all the data ! great extension
Functionality
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.
Functionality
Works if you change the source code and coment the areas field.
But in the rest don't works like promess, maybe in 2.x versions, not in 3.x
Owner's reply: PixSearch has now been updated for Joomla! 3x
Sorry for the long wait.

simple and fast

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.
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!!!
