Come on, do I have to give you the solution too? You don't even know where to look do you? Go get your boss kid and show him this. Then have him call me.

I rolled my hack out Sunday (36 hours ago) and still didn't get one bad remark on hacking it. Its based upon key_up() by Srinivas Tamada who wrote an introduction in early 2010.

I dislike having to edit my own blog but that's what I get for allowing people onto my box and roll unedited.

Yes, and when I said I was number 4; in a list of 5, [0] is No. 1 and [1] is No. 2, and so on.

So, you want your own keyboard controller? Or instant search just like Google's? I was laughing when I saw this! Obviously kids from Stanford put puzzles together easily. http://www.tikku.com/jquery-jqtube-util#jqtube_tutorial_3

Yea, Google, YouTube Facebook, Twitter a kid from Stanford and me? I didn't go to Stanford, I went to Parris Island.

i'm sorry, but i'm completely tired of these posts saying that they have the solution to yahoo instant search. there's a difference between some hacker in a basement doing a one-off site that a few dozen people visit over its lifetime and a system that can scale to millions of simultaneous users.

to the original author: have you simulated millions of simultaneous users against your 'solution?' if your answer to scaling is simply to lean on the yahoo api, then you don't have one. i'm not saying their api/server farm can't handle it, but i suspect that it's not set up for it at them moment.

no, i don't work for yahoo.
