$(document).on('mouseup', function(e){
	var my_element = $('<my_element_selector>');
	if(
		!my_element.is(e.target) // if the target of the click isn't the live_search_results...
		&& my_element.has(e.target).length === 0 // ...nor a descendant of the live_search_results
		&& my_element.is(":visible") // Is it even showing on screen?
	){ my_element.slideUp(); }
