What is the concept?

Searching is a common requirement in most Web applications. Typical queries include searching for a customer, for a product, or for an article.

Often Web applications require users to search against data usually done via search pages with results that often span across multiple pages. ASP.NET AJAX can improve the performance and user experience of the search. Additionally the bundle provides guidance on how to display a progress indicator for long running searches and how to page the results on the server.
