Very cool! Are any of these implementations hosted anywhere?
I have development versions running, but only the ruby version is 'live' right now. http://test.awesometrousers.net/ There is also a live-search implementation that utilizes the ruby backend: http://test.awesometrousers.net/search As the api supports limit and offset query variables, I have thought of making it the live-search also do load-on-scroll instead of load all at once, but I haven't endeavored to do so yet.
I have been making an AUR scraper/copier that saves package meta-information. There is also a web service that provides the data. I put both the database and webservice here: http://juster.us/aurlite
neat! I will take a look at it.
This scraper saves the AUR data into a new schema as well as using SQLite so it has a slightly different angle than your projects. Because it is essentially read-only this works out well for my needs. I was not trying to mirror or re-implement the AUR. I was thinking of adding binary ALPM repos as well to provide a single service for searching/browsing packages across many repos as well as the AUR. This would probably have a javascript frontent much like your livesearch!
Certainly feel free to re-use any of the livesearch code. It is liberally MIT licensed. :)
