What is Ajax search?

AJAX search stands for Asynchronous JavaScript and XML search. Ajax is a client-side script that talks to the server without the need for a page reload. When you type queries in a search engine, using this technology, the search results change for every keystroke without reloading the page.

Using Ajax, only certain portions of the page will be updated without reloading the page. For example, the Autocomplete you see on google is an AJAX system that only updates the search autocomplete.

Ajax is the method of exchanging data with a server, and updating parts of a web page – without reloading the entire page.AJAX is a new technique for creating better, faster, and more interactive web applications with the help of XML, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

The user would never know that anything was even transmitted to the server.XML is commonly used as the format for receiving server data, although any format, including plain text, can be used.

Ajax search is a kind of search autocomplete that displays search results for every keystroke (similar to the Google autosuggest widget).
