Search

Find anything on the site

Every service, industry, market, guide and tool, searchable as you type. Nothing is sent anywhere — the index is part of this page.

40 of 367 pages

A split diagram of how a site search can work. When the index ships with the page, everything runs in the browser, nothing typed is sent anywhere, and there is no query log because there is no server request to log. The ordinary arrangement sends each query to a server that has to receive it in order to answer, which is why the alternative is worth stating.

  • Works as soon as the page has loaded
