Search engine related question

Hello,

When user writting text into search input field then how can I display suggestions like google

Any clue please

Thanks & best regards

You have to capture the text ebntry client side and probably use AJAX to run the query in the background. This is will be quite slow if you are just running the searches against a database. I'd recommend some sort of IR technology (like Lucene) instead.

pardon Paul- what is IR technology. An brief introduction will do. TIA

I written my own code instead of using Lucene but want to refine it. getting results from db while user inserting the input is very slow indeed but am seeing on many websites that they are displaying suggestion very fast as I given the example of google.com

Can you please more specific regarding IR technologies because I am unable to search any doc with this abreviation

Thanks & best regards

Didn't know either and looked it up:
IR is information retrieval.
