    ok, so I found the plugins JS code that controls the spinner:

    /**
     * Display the "spinning wheel" AJAX activity indicator
     */
    LiveSearch.displayIndicator = function() {
    
    	if(jQuery(".search_results_activity_indicator").size() === 0) {
    
    		var searchBox = jQuery('input:focus').first();
    		var searchBoxPosition = searchBox.offset();
    
    		jQuery("body").append('<span id="search_results_activity_indicator" class="search_results_activity_indicator" />');
    
    		var spinnerRadius = {outer: Math.ceil((searchBox.height() * 0.9) / 2)};
    		spinnerRadius.inner = Math.floor(spinnerRadius.outer * 0.29);  // 2:7 (0.29) ratio seems ideal
    
    		jQuery(".search_results_activity_indicator").css('position', 'absolute').css('z-index', 9999);
    
    		var indicatorY = (searchBoxPosition.top + ((searchBox.outerHeight() - searchBox.innerHeight()) / 2) + 'px');
    
    		jQuery(".search_results_activity_indicator").css('top', indicatorY);
    
    		var indicatorX = (searchBoxPosition.left + searchBox.outerWidth() - ((spinnerRadius.outer + spinnerRadius.inner) * 2) - 2)  + 'px';
    
    		jQuery(".search_results_activity_indicator").css('left', indicatorX);
    
    		Spinners.create('.search_results_activity_indicator', {
    			radii:     [spinnerRadius.inner, spinnerRadius.outer],
    			color:     '#fff', //this changes the spinner colour
    			dashWidth: 1,
    			dashes:    8,
    			opacity:   0.8,
    			speed:     0.7
    		}).play();
    	}
    
    };

    So I’ve copied that into my custom JS file that I use for my WP site so I can override the settings without losing theme when the plugin gets updated.

    I just wonder if there’s an easier solution?

    It would be nice to have some control in the dashboard settings for the spinner, but hey, I realise this is a free plugin and I’m very grateful for the obvious hard work that’s already gone into it!
