The plugin still needs more work and documentation to make it
accessible for everyone in Plone. (Big warning: it comes with a working
Zope example but it lacks the Plone example. So: it will require an effort 
to deploy it in Plone at first.)
If you however volunteer to help with this, here is the description:



It's in a Bazaar (bzr) repository, hosted on Launchpad.

Why Bazaar? We started the ~kissbooth group on Launchpad to fulfill a 
similar role for kss, as the Collective has for Plone. Bazaar and 
Launchpad are a nice combination to enable easy development and 
management of kss plugins and extensions in an open way.

If you are familiar with svn (and I am sure you are), you will find this 
bazaar tutorial extremely useful. It will make all your possible uncertainty 
about Bazaar dissolve in ten minutes:

Now to answer to your question: The homepage of the plugin is:

   https://launchpad.net/kss.plugin.livesearch

To check out the branch with bzr, you can use:

   bzr branch lp:kss.plugin.livesearch

The same using the full url:

   bzr branch http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~kissbooth/kss.plugin.livesearch/trunk/


Alternately: if you want to use it from buildout, you can use the following 
configuration:


[src-pub]
recipe = gf.recipe.bzr
urls=
    http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~kissbooth/kss.plugin.livesearch/trunk/ kss.plugin.livesearch

In addition you will also need to make sure the plugin is known to the Zope
instance, by adding these to your [instance] section:

eggs=
    ...
    kss.plugin.livesearch

zcml=
    ...
    kss.plugin.livesearch


The demo examples can be run with kss.demo (not included in default Plone,
so it needs to be installed as well).


Best wishes,
