  hello
  how can i have a search box where in which need the following
  Say I have 100 blogs
  If visitors start typing in search box, as soon as they start typing it should list below it like the available blogs that start with the letters typed so far. Is there any plugin for that?
  it helps the visitors to come to know whether he is typing correct wordings for blog before even pressing submit for search. Like the search in googlesearch.
  Could you please enhance the search box feature so that it will be really helpful . Thanks

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  The WordPress.com search engine indexes post, pages, and comments content (body text). Unless entered as text in those contents, blog name, post titles, and post/comment author names are not indexed. http://en.support.wordpress.com/wordpresscom-search/

  There is no FTP access and no blogger installed plugin capability on any free hosted WordPress.com blogs.
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/ftp-access/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/

  There is no upgrade you can purchase here that provides FTP access and the ability to install plugins and or any third party themes. See here for a full comparison WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  If you want FTP access and to install plugins or third party themes into a site then you will have to hire a web host http://wordpress.org/hosting/ and set up your own WordPress.org install.

  @igrab45
  I already told you that’s not possible in this thread: https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/sign-up-option-for-my-visitors-and-users-advertisements?replies=16#post-1947007

  To use any of those features you’ll have to set up a self-hosted WordPress.ORG install as timethief indicated.

  Ok at least tell me which are the plugins or themes that would help me to fulfill my needs if I have self hosted set up.

  You’ll have to ask that on the WP.org forums. http://wordpress.org/support/
