How to Search using jQuery ASP.Net?

What are some good resources for building a jQuery based JSON search/filter system?

  • My current web application is using jQuery's $.getJSON() to obviously return some data from my mysql db and then present it in html div form. I want to build (over time while learning) a somewhat robust (at least to me) client side filter/search system that can do things like filter based on categories, tags, input, check boxes,etc. (applying multiple filters at once). But also do things like pinning/favoriting objects to stay in result and/or compare independently. I am looking for any books, online tutorials, or similar existing plugins/open source code. Thanks!

Well, if you know AJAX, it is too easy to make such a filter. And no plugins needed.Lets take an example:We have a table with our client names and some additional data: Now, if an admin want to search a specific criteria, where a client still have more than 2000$ as payment for our company, we create a drop list with multiple values. Then, we send the chosen value into PHP script, using AJAX call. We will take this value and add it into a search query, then, we send back results into AJAX, in a json array.Finally, we use $.each() inside success function of ajax to display all returned row, in the same page, using a function called append().If you want a live example, I have videos about it on youtube:And you can watch the full successful series on Udemy (more than 1200 students):https://www.udemy.com/ajax-calls-the-simplest-way/?couponCode=clientsideScroll down to section 8 and watch how to make advanced search filters.
