$("#search-criteria").on("keyup", function() {
    var g = $(this).val();
    $(".fbbox .fix label").each( function() {
        var s = $(this).text();
        if (s.indexOf(g)!=-1) {
            $(this).parent().parent().show();
        }
        else {
            $(this).parent().parent().hide();
        }
    });
});​

or Better Way:

$("#search-criteria").on("keyup", function() {
    var g = $(this).val().toLowerCase();
    $(".fbbox .fix label").each(function() {
        var s = $(this).text().toLowerCase();
        $(this).closest('.fbbox')[ s.indexOf(g) !== -1 ? 'show' : 'hide' ]();
    });
});​
