DATABASE DETAILS

$database = mysql_select_db('2my4edge') or die(mysql_error());

INDEX.PHP
<div class="content">
<input type="text" class="search" id="searchid" placeholder="Search for people" /> Ex:arunkumar, shanmu, vicky<br />
<div id="result"></div>
</div>
just give this input type only in index page with AJAX. you can see the ajax coding below here that is also comes in index page
AJAX
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-1.8.0.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function(){
$(".search").keyup(function()
{
var searchid = $(this).val();
var dataString = 'search='+ searchid;
if(searchid!='')
{
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "search.php",
data: dataString,
cache: false,
success: function(html)
{
$("#result").html(html).show();
}
});
}return false;
});
jQuery("#result").live("click",function(e){
var $clicked = $(e.target);
var $name = $clicked.find('.name').html();
var decoded = $("<div/>").html($name).text();
$('#searchid').val(decoded);
});
jQuery(document).live("click", function(e) {
var $clicked = $(e.target);
if (! $clicked.hasClass("search")){
jQuery("#result").fadeOut();
}
});
$('#searchid').click(function(){
jQuery("#result").fadeIn();
});
});
</script>

$q=$_POST['search'];
$sql_res=mysql_query("select id,name,email from autocomplete where name like '%$q%' or email like '%$q%' order by id LIMIT 5");
while($row=mysql_fetch_array($sql_res))

$username=$row['name'];
$email=$row['email'];
$b_username='<strong>'.$q.'</strong>';
$b_email='<strong>'.$q.'</strong>';
$final_username = str_ireplace($q, $b_username, $username);
$final_email = str_ireplace($q, $b_email, $email);
