    Can Ajax Aearch search a database?

    Or if I display the db records on a page via a snippet, can I then make AS search those results?

    Thanks

      IIRC AjaxSearch returns values from only document content & TV’s, so if you have other tables of data in the DB they are not searched.

        With the current version (1.7.1) the search take into accounts "site_content" table (=document content) with a left join with "site_tmplvars" (template variables).
        I plan to add the possibility to configure in which tables should occur the search. For the moment only at the state of pre-alpha release
