Case Study: Capital

Introduction

Capital Support is one of the UK's premier IT solutions providers. SearchUnit has been used to provide search functionality for the entire web-site and specifically customized to show a selection of search results as the user types a search query.

For details on how to import and index documents for searching, please consult the Help documentation

To show the user a sample of results as they type into the search box we can use ASP.NET AJAX (or any kind of AJAX engine). This goes beyond our 'AutoComplete' feature, to actually show result titles, links and a summary. It will impose more server load than normal functionality, as a search is performed for every key press, so it's advisable to use it on smaller indexes (<500 pages).
