Has anyone thought about creating a clone of this Prototype component (which was itself a clone of a MooTools version). Would be _really_ nice for the Ext community! I started to take a stab at it, but it seems like a lot of work (and my prototype skills are sorely lacking).
I cooked together a quick and dirty example of a facebook-like search. The only problem is- i didn't have a good set of data to search, so I used the Yahoo search api and i search images.
The goals
1) Create a searcher that can highlight the substrings of your search text
2) Create an ext store and custom dataview for visualizing the selected search results
3) provide in that custom dataview a way to remove results from the store (delete)
