Bing Instant Search with Jquery and Ajax

Some days back I had posted a popular article 'Youtube instant search with Jquery and Ajax'. I received a lot of request from my readers that asked to me how to instant web search results so I had coded Bing instant search with real time search results. Just few lines of code, reading Bing search JSON API file with Jquery.

Bing Instant Search

Download Script     Live Demo

First you have to create an application ID from Bing Developer Center.

Javascript Code
$(".search_input").keyup(function(){})- search_input is the class name of input tag. $(this).val() - calling the input search box value. The encodeURIComponent() function encodes special characters (More infomation). Replace your Bing APP_ID
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/
ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function()
{

$(".search_input").keyup(function()
{
var search_input = $(this).val();
var keyword= encodeURIComponent(search_input);
// Bing Search API 
var bing_url='http://api.search.live.net/json.aspx?JsonType=callback&JsonCallback=?&Appid=APP_KEY&query='+keyword+'&sources=web';

$.ajax
({
type: "GET",
url: bing_url,
dataType:"jsonp",
success: function(response)
{
$("#result").html('');
if(response.SearchResponse.Web.Results.length)
{
$.each(response.SearchResponse.Web.Results, function(i,data)
{
var title=data.Title;
var dis=data.Description;
var url=data.Url;


var final="<div class='webresult'><div class='title'><a href='"+url+"'>"+title+"</a></div><div class='desc'>"+dis+"</div><div class='url'>"+url+"</div></div&gt;";

$("#result").append(final); // Result

});
}
else
{
$("#result").html("<div id='no'>No Results</div>");
}
}
});
});
});
</script>
// HTML code
<input type="text" class='search_input' />
<div id="result">
</div>

  15. hey can you please mail me complete zip file of this code...am having some problem and i need it urgent

  16. Hi is there an insidious bug in the code? It seems to me that you are assuming that the callback launched for the prefix P will conclude before the callback launched for the string Px (i.e. the prefix P followed by the character x). If this is the case, there is no guarantee for this

    ReplyDelete
  17. In other words the engine can answer for P after Px. So the result of P will come later and override the one of Px.

  18. open source meta search engine:

    var bing_url='http://api.search.live.net/json.aspx?JsonType=callback&JsonCallback=?&Appid=APP_KEY&query='+keyword+'&sources=web&Web.count=30';
