This is a script that updates a drop-down list of articles as you type in an in-page search box. Clicking on an item in the list goes to that page.

Usage Edit

If you don't want the script to run add this line to your User:/monobook.js:

var searchDropDown = 0;

To ignore redirects:

var showRedirects = 0;

Example Edit

If the script is on, you should get something like this as you type:

Issues Edit

• Doesn't work in IE, but fails well.

Source Edit
