    : skip to main skip to sidebar AJAX APIs Blog Search Form and Results on Two Different Pages March 16, 2010 One of the major advantages of an Ajax style search box is that users can perform their queries and get their results without leaving the page . However , some webmasters prefer that their users go to a separate results page after they enter a search .

    : skip to main skip to sidebar AJAX APIs Blog Finding Images on a Specific Site March 8, 2010 One feature of the AJAX Image Search API that you might find useful is the ability to retrieve only the images which are visible on a specific website .
