The live searching is definitely a great idea.

I'm using xmlhttp to return search results for my blog entries at:
  http://webaugur.com/

With mine you have to press enter and the results load into a div below
the search box.  I also implemented history tracking and bookmarking.
The search query persists across pages if you follow a link to one of
the results.

For example, this performs a client-side query for "swish-e":
  http://webaugur.com/#w=swish-e

Which calls this script on the backend to return XML:
  http://webaugur.com/dave/blogger/swish-e.php?w=swish-e
