We have seen a lot of examples of Live Search. But now, Ordered List has added a bit of a twist to it. Steve mentioned that the typical year and month layout of archives was overkill. He thought a better way to present them would be to list them all and let live search sort ‘em out. He has created Live Search with Quicksilver Style by integrating “Quicksilver string ranking algorithm” into Live Search component. “Quicksilver string ranking algorithm” will be able to recognize which items you are searching for if you just use abbreviations, so you can type entire words, or just fragments of each.
For example, sure you can search ‘sidebar creative’ to find posts titled that, now you can just type ‘sdbcv’ to get the same result. And that guy Nunemaker, but is that name a keyboardful. Why don’t we just hit a few of the important characters like ‘nnmkr’. The post of “Welcome John Nunemaker” is right there at the top. Try out the demo, you will love this immediately.

Wysiwym Markdown editor (WMD) is a simple, lightweight HTML editor for blog comments, forum posts, and basic content management. You can add WMD to any textarea with one line of code. Add live preview with one line more. WMD works in nearly all modern browsers, and is now completely free to use. The next release will be open source under an MIT-style license. This is not a normal WYSIWYG editor.
Wysiwym stands for What You See Is What You Mean. WMD produces clean semantic HTML, leaving presentation details like fonts and colors up to style sheets. But you’re not left in the dark about cosmetics; as you type, WMD’s live preview shows you exactly what your text will look like after the current styles have been applied.
Markdown is a simple markup language that’s as easy to read and write as plain-text email. WMD uses Markdown as an input format, converting it into HTML behind the scenes. You can also mix raw HTML with Markdown, so the full expressiveness of HTML is always there if you need it.
