Instant search a la Facebook Tweet

Quick demo made for @pierrevalade to filter in real-time a long list of DOM element.
The filter algorithm is framework agnostic Javascript. This demo uses jQuery only to handle DOM events and get DOM elements.

The main problem is performance. You can write nice and clean code based on jQuery but it will be very slow. This is why code is just regular javascript (and could be more optimize). Code is on github sgruhier/instant-search-a-la-facebook is you want to play with it.

Try it, now! The list contains 1000 name generated by the ruby name generator found in this article.
