 * I just installed your plugin and i got wrong paths to daves-wordpress-live-search.
   js, daves-wordpress-live-search.css and indicator.gif. Instead of a right path
   like
 * _hxxp://localhost/mywordpress/wp-content/plugins/daves-wordpress-live-search/
   js/daves-wordpress-live-search.js_
 * I got something weird like
 * _hxxp://localhost/mywordpress/wp-content/plugins/usr/share/wordpress/wp-content/
   themes/my-theme/js/daves-wordpress-live-search.js_
 * The latter is sort of a composition of my localhost WP url + an absolute system
   path to my wp-theme. Dunno why that is :/
 * I sort of fixed it by replacing:
 * `plugin_dir_url(__FILE__)`
 * with
 * `plugin_dir_url().'daves-wordpress-live-search/`
 * Here’s the DIFF:

 * A idea to solve this error could be fine…
 * Thanks.

 * Exemple:
    After WordPress 3.4 migration I have error 404 on some plugins assets.
 * If you have this error, search on wp-content symlink.
 * I think it’s a regression from a old version.
 * Found idea here:
