Rails - Jan 2006 - ajax search

Hi everyone,

I''m a bit new to rails, but I have played around with it for the last
month.
I really enjoy programming in rails and I feel that I should program my new
application through this framework.

I am very exited when I start creating my scaffolds and views, there is some
sense of accomplishment.

Now I would really like to make a search function my page that would search
through the different posts that were created though my DB. Mostly I would
like to keep the search keyword or title so that it would just start
searching by words I type in, I am very familiar with scriptaculous but
until now I have only used it with normal XHTML and a bit of PHP. Through
this search function I would like the user to start typing in the search
field located at the top of the ''blog'' page. Soon after they
start typing,
the blog posts under neath the field would disappear and the search results
would start showing up. Sort of like Curt Hibbs''
blog<http://blog.curthibbs.us/>,
if see on the right hand side of his page he has a ''live
search'' function.
This is sort of what I would like to do, but theoretically it would fill up
the whole page.

If anyone could help me out with this or just direct me to a link, please do
so.

Thank You
