Hello all,

I'm in the process of adding some AJAX sugar to C::A::Search and wanted
to throw out my initial ideas and also see what others would like to
have as well. I'm planning on adding the following:

+ No page reload for results. After pressing the 'submit' button (or one
of the page links) a page will not be reloaded, but the new results will
simply be shown below. This should actually speed things up, especially
on sites that have some dynamic stuff happening in navs and sidebars.

+ Auto-Complete/Suggest search field. As the user types they will see
suggestions of what to search for (similar to Google suggest and other
apps).

Now, how do people want the Auto-Complete field to work? Should it
suggest words that are known to be in the documents indexed? Should it
just show phrases that this user has previously searched for (most
browsers do this anyway)? Should it suggest phrases that other people
have previously searched for? Or should it not care, but rather be
pointed to a datasource of words/phrases to use and not care where it
came from.

Also, more architectural, should the AJAX niceness be configurable
within C::A::Search, or should a separate C::A::Search::AJAX module
exist (probably within the same distro) so that developers aren't confused?

Thoughts?
