If you want an Ajax request to result in a redirect of the whole page, you
have to do it via Javascript after the Ajax response arrives. You could add
something like this to the search_bar function:
if [some condition]:
form = SCRIPT('jQuery(function() {location = "%s"})' %
URL('default', 'services', vars=dict(qry=form.vars.qry),extension
=False))
That will replace the form with a script that changes the window location
to the desired URL. Note, in the URL() function, extension is set to False
-- otherwise, if the component happens to have the .load extension, that
extension will propagate to the services URL -- setting extension to False
simply leaves the extension off (in which case, it will look for the .html
view).
