Adding autocomplete functionality to the blog search input field. The values provided are the tags and categories used in the blog.

== Description ==

This plugin adding autocomplete functionality to search input field. It is using core jQuery library as well as
autocomplete jquery plugin from http://www.pengoworks.com/workshop/jquery/autocomplete.htm

This plugin requires zero configuration. You just need to activate and it's ready to be used in the blog. The plugin is tested
with Wordpress 2.6.5, but until there aren't big core changes, it sould work for all future releases. I don't have
information if this plugin will work with older versions of Wordpress, but for sure it is working with 2.6.x

== Important note for installation ==

Important is to check if the search text field has id attribute. The value of this attribute should be "s"

Example of the search field without id.
<pre><input type="text" class="textfield" name="s" size="24" value="<?php echo wp_specialchars($s, 1); ?>" /></pre>

The field should look this way in order to work the Autocomplete plugin.
<pre><input type="text" class="textfield" name="s" size="24" value="<?php echo wp_specialchars($s, 1); ?>" id="s"/></pre>
