I’m just curious.
Why would you want to condemn Live Search?
Are you condemning the term (buzzword)? Or the function?
You have a “better than live search” box right below your name, so I’m just wondering.
Because I find the whole live search thing a little bit dumb. There’s a reason that Google Suggest never went out of beta: it’s annoying. It’s completely pointless to start searching when all I’ve typed is a b, wait until I’ve typed better-than-live, then search. I’ll tell you when I’m ready (I know where my enter key is, thank you very much).
Something that I can see as useful, however, as an AJAX search. You know, eliminate some of those page refreshes. Besides, it’s just so freaking cool.
Either way though, I don’t see why this matters…I’m condemning a buzzword, not a technique.
I eat food. I listen to music. I sleep. Sometimes. I drink lots of coffee. I make pretty pictures. I talk to people. I believe in things. I write stuff. I take photographs. I have a laughing addiction. I am human. I have more about me over here.

The site is buzzword hell, so I’m condemning the buzzword. But just for the record, I do hate live search…
Just for the record, why is “live search” bad, and “better-than-live-search” good?
A bit of an explainer might be in order…
@Peter: From the article on better-than-live search:
