How Search Works ?

Welcome to the Search section of this web application! This page has been designed to provide a simple, fast, and efficient way for users to perform web searches directly from within the application interface.

The search feature here is powered by the Yandex Search Engine. Whenever you enter a query in the search box and press the search button, a small piece of JavaScript code takes your input and redirects you to Yandex’s search results page using your exact search terms.

Here’s how it works behind the scenes:

When you type something into the search input field, the JavaScript function reads the value you entered, removes any extra spaces, and then attaches it to the end of Yandex’s search URL.

For example, if your input is:
web development tutorials

The script automatically constructs a complete search URL like this:
https://yandex.com/search/?text=web+development+tutorials

Then, it uses the JavaScript line:
window.location.href = 'https://yandex.com/search/?text=' + encodeURIComponent(query);

This command instructs your browser to immediately open that URL, effectively taking you straight to Yandex’s search results page for your query.

This approach ensures that the search experience feels instant and intuitive, without the need for complex APIs or server-side code. The entire process happens on the client side — meaning it works purely through your browser, keeping the interaction lightweight and responsive.

The main advantages of this method include:
• **Simplicity** — The implementation is clean and easy to understand.
• **Speed** — The search opens instantly with no extra loading delay.
• **Privacy** — Since your query goes directly to Yandex, no data is stored or processed by this application.

This type of front-end search redirection is perfect for educational or personal projects where you want to demonstrate how real-world search engines can be integrated into web interfaces with minimal code.

In the future, this feature could be enhanced to include multiple search engine options — such as Google, Bing, Perplexity, or ChatGPT-based queries — allowing users to choose their preferred platform. Additionally, I plan to implement smart features like search suggestions, auto-complete, and quick previews to make the search experience even more powerful and user-friendly.

For now, the Yandex-based redirect method provides a clean and efficient way to perform searches directly from the site, offering both learning value and practical usability.

Thank you for checking out this section! If you’re interested in seeing the code behind this feature, here’s the core JavaScript snippet that powers it:

const searchInput = document.querySelector('#searchInput');
const searchBtn = document.querySelector('#searchBtn');

searchBtn.addEventListener('click', () => {
    const query = searchInput.value.trim();
    if (query) {
        window.location.href = 'https://yandex.com/search/?text=' + encodeURIComponent(query);
    }
});
