phpLD Mod Idea

[codeassist]

Guys I am thinking about working on a mod for phpLD 3.2 for my directory when people use the search bar, it auto suggests similar to Google.

Some info on this below:

Has anyone made something like this before?

I know we have talked about it before.
What kind of effect would it have on server load?

[codeassist]

Yeah would have to think about that too. Unless only featured links. But will be done with AJAX.

I would absolutely use it for only featured ... larger directories would create server load.

Also be careful on what you are using in the requests back and forth.

For some reason lately ajax is being broke with the latest mod_sec rules.

Wordpress admin is one example
