Ajax Search

December 9th, 2005

Ill be writing more about my new search system for work shortly but you can see a [[/?page=ajax||small article]] on one of the problems i was facing with automated searching using ajax.

I was also looking into the idea of using [[http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory||MEMORY]] based tables in [[http://www.mysql.com||MySQL]] but the bloody thing doesnt support blob/texts so thats put and end to that idea. The system is working fine but dumping a considerable amount of geo (streets, county etc) data clogs it to the point that searches, while fast, don’t come back at the speed I need to do predictive search.. will have to go away and have a think about how to handle this one.
