I know this is very old issue, but I got it to work with overriding /app/design/frontend/base/default/template/bubble/autocomplete/js.phtml.

Replaced

var engine = new Bloodhound({
    datumTokenizer: Bloodhound.tokenizers.obj.whitespace('name'),
    queryTokenizer: Bloodhound.tokenizers.whitespace,
    <?php if ($helper->getUseLocalStorage()): ?>
    prefetch: { url: '<?php echo $this->getUrl('autocomplete/product/json') ?>' },
    <?php else: ?>
    remote: { url: '<?php echo $this->getUrl('autocomplete/product/json') ?>' },
    <?php endif; ?>
    limit: <?php echo $helper->getLimit() ?>,
    ttl: <?php echo $helper->getCacheLifetime() * 1000 ?> // milliseconds
});

with

var engine = new Bloodhound({
    datumTokenizer: Bloodhound.tokenizers.obj.whitespace('bubble_search_field'),
    queryTokenizer: Bloodhound.tokenizers.whitespace,
    <?php if ($helper->getUseLocalStorage()): ?>
    prefetch: {
        url: '<?php echo $this->getUrl('autocomplete/product/json') ?>',
        filter: function (list) {
            return jQuery.map(list, function (item) {
                item['bubble_search_field'] = item.name + ' ' + item.sku;
                return item; 
            });
        }
    },
    <?php else: ?>
    remote: {
        url: '<?php echo $this->getUrl('autocomplete/product/json') ?>',
        filter: function (list) {
            return jQuery.map(list, function (item) {
                item['bubble_search_field'] = item.name + ' ' + item.sku;
                return item; 
            });
        }
    },
    <?php endif; ?>
    limit: <?php echo $helper->getLimit() ?>,
    ttl: <?php echo $helper->getCacheLifetime() * 1000 ?> // milliseconds
});

NB! Don't forget to clear local storage data if that is turned on.

Added filter for creating new property bubble_search_field which concats name and sku. Then changed searching by name to bubble_search_field.

Ofcourse you could name bubble_search_field as you like.

Maybe it helps someone.

@renekorss
i just replaced that but it is not working

getting other issue -
when type in numeric in search then data is not coming

@sumeetmobiwebtech I know it is pretty old, but I got mine to work by ignoring the mods.
Just replaced
<?php echo $this->__('No result') ?>
To
<?php echo $this->__('Hit enter to search') ?>'
So when customer hits enter, catalog search comes to action

One catalog search, to have better results, I have changed to "Full Text"...

It is a very old search tool, but the fastest and lightest the one around.

Does anyone knows how to make it pick up the FinalPrice instead of only the original price?
