    You don’t need that to search. In fact, you send the search query and get the response back.

    Yes, they let you search the term, it’s called asking the librarian to tell you which page.

    Forms that send a post request to the server and the server serves you the page with the answer is how it works. Ajax is cool, sure, but don’t tell us lies, or don’t talk with confidence without knowing.

        I was trying to make the best of what I could with the bad example they provided…

        But as they already responded you, before Ajax was a thing term searches were done via forms. I still state that it has it’s uses, but let’s not pretend like the universe was born with javascript.
