Hello everyone,
As I said in my answer to Vincent's mail about our roadmap leading to
XWiki 3.0, I would like to include in this path some improvements to
the Ajax Suggest widget, as well as a new high level feature : the
"livesearch" (or whatever we will end up calling it) that provides
dynamically search results "as you type" in the search box - and that
uses those suggest widget improvements.
I've started a design document at
http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/SuggestImprovmentsAndDynamicSear…
It includes some more details about the livesearch thing, including a
breakdown plan with releases targets.

+1 for Part 1A
Here is how I see it :
* Redesign of the Ajax Suggest widget : 2.6 RC 2 (Note : this will be
mostly a visual re-design for a start, I'm not planning on rewriting
the widget from scratch - though some refactoring will be needed).
* Capability for the suggest to display multiple groups of typed items
(with icon and description) 2.6 RC 2
+1 but provided it's committed very soon since we need time to test it and RC2 is for
next Monday.
* Dynamic search (the "live search") : in
the 2.7 cycle. I think it is
too early to break this feature down in the releases of the 2.7 cycle.
+1
My +1 to have this new feature in 3.0, and to start
the suggest widget
improvements in 2.6.
+1 too although the 3.0 release is blocked right now by Ludovic so there's no 3.0 for
the time being and as a consequence there's no 2.7 roadmap either since a 2.7 release
can be very different whether it leads to a 3.0 or not.
Thanks

WDYT ?
Note, I have started working with Caty on a suggest widget redesign
proposal, I will send a mail about it very soon.
Cheers,
Jerome.
