  Custom Search Module for AJAX Libraries and Toolkits
Having a passion for AJAX I did a bit of research on AJAX libraries and toolkits mostly based on free OpenSource technology and updated my Custom AJAX Search Engine to extract information quickly with precision.

AJAX is based on open standards like JavaScript, HTML, CSS, DOM and DOM Events, XMLHttpRequest, XML and SVG, highly available in most modern Web-browsers and compatible with existing Web development technologies allowing a smooth transition to next generation Web-Apps with a strong ROI.

Currently it searches more than 30 top libraries and toolkits:

Libraries:
ActiveWidgets
Aflax
Amberjack
Reflection.js
Yahoo UI
Dojo
MochiKit.Animator
Lightbox 2
Jquery
JKL.ParseXMLparse remote XML file into JavaScript object (JSON)
Liquidx
Mapstraction
Mochikit
Openlayers
Openrecord
Openrico
Osflash
Prototype
Rialto
RobGonda
Script.aculo.us
Tacos
Technicalpursuit
Trimpath
Xajax
Toolkits
Aptana
Backbase
Bindows
G Webtoolkit
ATF
RAP
Activemq
XAP
Nexaweb
OpenJakob
Openlaszlo
Opensymphony
Taconite
Tibco
Zapatec
Zimbra
ZK1

Developing rich user experiences with RIA technologies such as AJAX makes Web-based applications response quickly and intuitive like a typical desktop application. Instead reloading a page after the old click-wait-refresh model the AJAX application stays on a page continuously while the AJAX engine handles data exchange with the server.

Building the case, AJAX Web-applications provide enormous advantages compared to conventional Web-applications, they avoid slow response times and scrolling after the page has reloaded thus improve end-user productivity, lower bandwidth consumption and costs by partial page updates and reduce the time to wait for the next page.

Applied to eCommerce systems AJAX even increases revenues making new applications easy and intuitive reducing the amount of friction for end-users.
