Search

Search the BOOSTD site: every page, as you type

Search every service, industry, location, guide and tool as you type. The index loads with the page, so your searches stay in your browser.

Where what you type goes

The index ships with the page, so nothing leaves the browser

This is an unusual arrangement and it is only worth mentioning because the ordinary one is invisible. Everything typed here is answered by code already running on your own device.

How a site search can work.

The index ships with the page

  • Everything runs inside your own browser
  • Nothing you type is sent anywhere
  • No query log, because there is no request
  • Works as soon as the page has loaded

A query sent to a server

  • Each keystroke leaves the browser
  • Answered by a server that received it
  • The ordinary arrangement for site search
  • Which is why the alternative is worth saying
