For example the client wants to have a search functionality only on a specific document library or wants to see all the related links by a particular author.

In search centre page(where you have placed search box and search results web part), click on ‘Site Actions’ and ‘Edit Page’. Figure 1. Click on ‘Edit Page’.

As soon as you type 3 characters (can be configured), the JQuery will bring out all matching results. You can also use the arrow button (or mouse pointer) and choose the right result and hit enter. Steps to implement Now coming back to the steps for implementing it. It is fairly simple, and can be done in a matter of few minutes. 1. C...
