quickSearch is a jQuery plugin for filtering large sets of data. It supports Tables, Paragraphs and Lists. It’s very easy to use ‘out of the box’. As easy as:

$(search_elements).quicksearch(options);

quickSearch v2.0 was written with speed in mind, it is now a lot quicker than the previous version and it is completely backwards-compatible with any previous code written.

You can also look at another jQuery QuickSilver Live Search Plugin we mentioned earlier, it is 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.
