A search box was added on the site, you can search for maps and for players.
There is no submit button, you just need to click on the result and a new page gets loaded.

Can you make it possible to press enter to go to the new page?
Also the suggestions disappear after a few seconds, could you make this delay longer?
And finally if you press enter with nothing selected, could you be brought to a normal search page, that uses the normal form submission? (Not needed, but some browsers don't support ajax)

It seems it's not possible with the script I used (

Increased to 5sec, enough?

So I was looking at this again cause I think the search system is pretty annoying.
I think it is possible with the script you are using, if I understand it correctly it is tied to the input field with id = "searchbox".
It doesn't listen for the submit event so this will probably work:
This is the current code:
Code: Select all
<form action="">
<input type="text" id="searchBox" />
</form>
Just change it to this (just an example):
Code: Select all
<form action="awesomeSeachResults.php" method="get">
<input type="text" name="searchQuery" id="searchBox" />
</form>
Then when you press enter it will redirect you to awesomeSeachResults.php&searchQuery=
So need to make that page (awesomeSeachResults.php) which displays search results in an unordered list.
Advantages:
- Faster
- More results
(Also I forgot to mention no hacking of the javascript required
)
