Well, I solved the problem of the js conflict with styleswitcher and live search box by changing to a php styleswitch but now I've discovered 2 big problems. The live search box is proving to be a headache and is now conflicting with two google search maps. I do appreciate it's a lot to ask for someone to help with both problems but if I don't find an answer I'll have to sacrifice either the search box or the google map and as I'm happy with my design it would be a real shame. I'll have to split the problem into two threads as its a long post.
