ease of searching

This is probably awkward and horribly complex to code (what do i know?) but it would be quite awesome if we had live searches in the facebook sense -- type something in the search bar and have a couple of results spat out instantly, as if from a drop-down list or something.

PS - links on the profile feed pages, when long enough to (apparently) require a "..." don't work, in my Chrome browser and Mac 10.7; the actual "..." gets rendered in the url when opened.

What your talking about is called search suggestions. Facebook has a different system, Those names you see scrolling below are retrieved from a database of names/places etc. but IBS is a forum hence different system.

Search suggestions can be implemented but would require tremendous server speed and I don't think that IBS is hosted on that powerful a server. Google and Bing do...but then again they belong to powerful organizations.
