Ajax search with showing article thumbnail
I am developing a website for my client he is listing the items for sale, now I have a search block and he asking me to make that Ajax search user-friendly for visitors, like if someone types Book the search will show the available items (article title + thumbnail) when clicked any item that will open directly that item.
I tried to find any plugin or solution, but couldn’t succeed. Anyone please help me in this regard?
Thanks in advance
Here is an example

Re: Ajax search with showing article thumbnail
I think Oleg’s etc_search will do that for you using the “live search” option. Include the image in the code in the form for your search results.

Re: Ajax search with showing article thumbnail
If you use only standard txp search fields (Title/Body) and do not need live ‘on input’ search, this is quite easy to do without any plugin, especially with jQuery. Say, your search page contains
<form id="search_form" action="this/page/url">
<input type="search" name="q" />
</form>
<div id="search_results">
<txp:article />
</div>Then it suffices to add a bit of (jQuery) js:
$(function () {
$("#search_form").on("submit", function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
let url = $(this).attr("action"), data = $(this).serializeArray();
$("#search_results").load(url +" #search_results>*", data);
});
});Untested, but surely works after some tweaking
