New search tool on NetManiac

Posted on December 1, 2006 - Filed Under AJAX, JavaScript

If someone would watch how I provided search on this blog, would notice I was using Google search, and built in Wordpress search feature.

I was using local search, since it is accurate when You want to search new entries, which Google did not yet cached. But when I wanted something more sophisticated I switched to Google search. Only to go back to WP search, when I got pissed off by lag in caching by Google. And, start over again, i tak w kółko Macieju.

Well I think I have solution. It is mix of both - current search returns both results from built in WP search feature and Google. It was possible using Google AJAX Search API. Now I need to polish a bit code for search, since right now, after search query available search form is refreshing only results from Google. But I like my idea very much. Try it Yourself - try to make some search query, or just follow that link
