browse results list by pressing down arrow #7

When using something like Google autocomplete, as I type and results begin to appear, if I see one I like, I press the down arrow to leave the search field to browse the list and select a result.

wp-live-search doesn't do this. Instead, I have to hit tab to exit the field, which then selects the first element in the result. When I hit down arrow, then I can browse the list as expected.

Basically my point is that I like to use the keyboard as much as possible when it comes to searching, and the process here using keyboard feels a little bit unnatural.
