Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Well - as I understand you would like to have Ajax search while typing, means the search results update while typing. If yes:
There is no such feature available and AJAX search while typing and there are number of bad impact as it will be too expensive and kill your server as it will fire a new ajax call with each character you will type.
