Medical Glossary search box

I am working on a site for Cardiologists and student
cardiologists. I would like to add a searchable glossary of medical
terms to the site.
If you look at this site, they have one.

SH

That search is done by accessing a database of terms and
their definitions.
How is your server-side coding skills, and do you know what
server language
the server supports? Hopefully they already have a database
of terms and
their definitions for you to work from; otherwise, you are
going to have to
create a database yourself and populate it with the terms and
definitions.

  • Glossary search

    Hi all,
    i have a Jsp page. It has Glossary A B C D E F G .................... X Y Z. These are all hyperlink. so user clicks A and same page opens up glossary for A at the bottom of the page. This is happening using Javascript. so no form submission on clicking A. It is all client side javascript.
    Now, we want to add more functionality. We want to give a search box on this page. and let user type for example "payment" in textfield and click GO button. and then all the search results A ........... Z having keyword payment showsup as search links at the bottom for user to click.
    How can i implement such search functionality ?
    Any pointers appreciated.
    thanks
    pp

    ok.
    My page is Jsp page
    I dont mind using Java code in Jsp page (scriplets) which would result into glossary search.
    or better will have a Java class that do the search on entire glossary and then call that class instance in Jsp with the results.
    so I really do NOT want to rely on javascript for the search functionality and hope java would come handy.
    hope that explains my req :-)

  • Logical AND not working in the forum search box

    Logical AND of search terms does not seem to be working in the MSDN forum search box. Example: I go to the Project Customization and Program forum and type the word
    subproject
    in the search box. I get a lot of hits. So now I try to reduce the number of hits by typing
    subproject AND read
    Surprisingly, I now get MORE hits than before.   The same thing happens if I enter
    subproject & read
    Do the MSDN forums not support the standard logical AND combinations of search terms?  If they do support these combinations, what is the syntax?

  • Who Decided to Combine the Search Box and Address Bar?

    A very wise person once said:
    "Make everything as simple as possible, but no simpler!"
    That fundamental rule of design has been volated with Internet Explorer 9.
    I've been using IE9 for about a month now, trying to get used to all the new things.  Performance-wise it's nice, and the changes to security are welcome.  Okay, so the color-management is half baked, and it still has its problems, but I guess
    it's an improvement.
    But what idiot decided to make the search box and the address field one and the same?
    You think I'm being petty?  Go try to research what a particular file is - for example, go see if you can find info on "bib.dll".
    It wants to make it into a URL.  It's not a URL.  It may LOOK like one, but it's a name, honest! 
    Putting quotes around it doesn't help.  Maybe I'm missing the advanced syntax it takes to get such a thing to be a search term instead of a URL. Even if so, how is this an improvement or simplification?  It's certainly not intuitively obvious how
    to force a search, short of dredging up a link to Google and typing info in there directly.
    Doing a search and typing in an address are two FUNDAMENTALLY DIFFERENT THINGS.
    And hey, it's not a big deal that you can no longer see what it was you searched for, and maybe even edit it and search again.  No, because now the search engine pages have to waste space to put up a box showing what you just searched for, since it's
    now GONE out of the address field.
    How does stuff like this pass a design review?
    And to think the Microsoft Engineers worked extra hard to take it out.
    You Engineers at Microsoft need to take the product back from your moronic marketing people and make it actually work right.
    -Noel

    Ed, with 36 years software engineering experience, I know the difference between the difficulty of adapting to change and when something just isn't right.
    This isn't right.  Ever hear the phrase "apples and oranges" to describe two things that don't go together?  That concept fits well here.
    You say that thinking along the lines of "you no longer had to think about which box you want to type into" helped justify the change. 
    Is there something wrong with thinking?  This is akin to saying, "you no longer had to think about which nozzle at the gas station to fill your tank from". 
    Diesel doesn't work in a gas engine.  Nor does the water from the garden hose.
    You say "both methods of typing work in the one box".  But they don't, logically!  Did you actually read this thread? 
    Is there something wrong with logic?
    Alas, what the simple users of the general public want and what experienced computer users need are clearly two different things, and it's clear looking back that this move simply marked another step in Microsoft's clear intent
    to walk away from making serious computer operating systems that actually
    work.  Windows 8 is testament to that (and don't tell me you haven't noticed all the negative response).  Other such things include Windows Search - which is designed to be unable to actually do an exhaustive search...  Even going
    back as far as hiding file extensions by default.  And don't get me started on the use of telemetry to justify deprecating such things as Windows Backup.
    Do you understand the difference between leading and following?  Which, as a concept, would you say is better?  You need to stay the hell away from trying to emulate what Google does.  You can do better!  If you want a different
    example, follow Firefox - it still has a search box.  Even Apple - known for dumbing things down to the level of the family dog - stil puts a search box in Safari.
    I don't mean to be critical of your response, Ed, but this is a good example of "the operation was a success but the patient died".
    Thank goodness there are 3rd party developers who are struggling to put back functionality Microsoft keeps removing.  But then Microsoft removes the APIs they use.  That's not going to keep!
    P.S., Watch the film "Idiocracy" some time.

  • Url does not show up in address bar...and when i type in a search box, the cursor jumps up to the address bar automatically

    I'm not sure what happened. However, I can never see the URL in the address bar anymore.
    I go from page to page, and the URL shows only for a split second, then disappers.
    All the address bar says is "Search or enter address"
    I copy and paste a lot of URL links for work, so this makes it very painful and a hassle now.
    Where now i need to go back, right click on a link, and do "copy link location".
    Where as i used to just go up to the address bar and copy the URL.
    Also, I notice now when I start typing on certain search boxes.
    The cursor automatically jumps to the URL address bar as soon as I start typing. Which is really annoying.
    It will only do it once it seems....but its annoying when i try to type a search...only to see that i've been typing in the URL address box cus it jumped up there.
    PLEASE HELP!!!!

    Try some basic troubleshooting.
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings, disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
    If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
    *In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
    *In previous Firefox versions, click on the Firefox button at the top left of the Firefox window and click on ''Help'' (or click on ''Help'' in the Menu bar, if you don't have a Firefox button) then click on ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
    If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
    * On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".<br>
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
    ''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.

  • Set the Finder's Search Box default to current folder? How?

    How do I set the the Finder's default Search Box parameters to be the current folder that I'm in, instead of searching the whole flamin' computer? (I have to quickly click on the folder name) And also instead of the default being 'Contents', how can I set it to be 'File Name'? It would speed up so many of my searches. I could still click on 'This Mac' to get that, and 'Contents' likewise.
    Tks in advance
    Drew

    I complitely agree and very very frustrated with that problem too just wrote this to feedback system:
    The problem that many people find is that when you have a finder windows open and that you browse a file like "Appplication" then due to the large number of application you use the search bar by taping the application name.
    That's where the problem come from.
    Once you tape the application name it start searching in the all computer ! instated of in the file
    The second problem is that he is searching the content and it will be better to have as default by file name.
    If i wanted to do that kind of search i will use the spolight button next to the clock and people want that search bar in finder to be searching in the folder you are in not all computer.
    Last problem is that we don't have a custom option in spotlight preference or finder preference.
    I would recommend to have that default search in finder change to search in file ONLY and to add Spotlight option in the Finder Preference for people to be able of customizing it.
    When you use that search bar everyday many times a day it becomes very very frustrating.

  • Search box not displaying correctly in Safari

    How can the search bar on the Apple site not display correctly in Safari? I find this odd that Apple would allow this. It displays like 2 search boxes overlapping each other. It still functions correctly but it is a little embarrassing since I am always bashing windows pro browser display.

    Hi
    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    Might be a corrupted cache or cookies issue. First, go to Safari Preferences>Security>Show Cookies. Type Apple in the Spotlight panel. Highlight/remove the cookies. Then, go to the Safari Menu>Empty Cache. Try the Apple site.
    If the double search panel still appears, go to the Finder: Your User Account>Library>Caches. There, move to the trash the com.apple.safari file. Restart Safari and try the Apple site again.

  • How to get rid of the stupid drop down box in the search box

    Thank-you for the help. I am not sure if I put this is the right spot or not, but I wanted to take the time to say thank-you to the people who answered :
    "Chosen solution
    If you want to restore the previously used standalone window to manage search engines then you can toggle this pref to false with a middle-click on the about:config page.
    about:config page: browser.search.showOneOffButtons = false
    Close and restart Firefox to the change effective. "
    I LOVE Firefox but it is so frustrating when I can't just right click and "paste and search"
    i have to do A LOT of searching for work and I had to switch to chrome for a few days until I found this solution because the new search box messed with our internal software (sorry I would tell you more but I don't really understand computers that much, but I am so glad to have my old friendly fox back!!!)... Thanks guys, Brit

    thanks for the feedback - since your question doesn't really contain any other request for support, i'm going to close the thread...

  • How do I stop Firefox for Android from popping up the on-screen keyboard when loading a page with a search box on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2?

    When I go to certain sites on the web which have search boxes, Firefox will pop up the onscreen keyboard as the page load completes, without me doing anything to focus the search box. It's annoying to have to tell the keyboard to go away each time before I can navigate in the page.
    I specified the device I am using (Galaxy Tab 2 7 inch) because it uses a nonstandard keyboard applet, called simply the Samsung Keyboard, which could be doing something different than the regular Android one. I don't have the option of switching to the stock Android keyboard.

    That won't help iamjayakumars. That pref blocks popup windows on load. The keyboard is not a popup window.
    This behavior happens because the website sets focus to a text box on the page. Firefox is following the standard behavior for desktop browsers.

  • Why won't my "searchpreview" add-on work from my browser search box since Firefox updated to 3.6.16, but it works when I do it from the Google main page??

    Since Firefox updated itself to 3.6.16 earlier today, when I search for anything in my Google search box on the browser, it always used to show me thumbnails when the Google page came up. Now there are no thumbnails appearing, except if I go on the Google main page and search from there, the thumbnails still appear. Whe it updated, the browser automatically searched for incompatability problems with my add-ons but nothing appeared to say Searchpreview was incompatible.

    You can modify the pref <b>keyword.URL</b> on the <b>about:config</b> page to use Google's "I'm Feeling Lucky" or Google's "Browse By Name".
    * Google "I'm Feeling Lucky": http://www.google.com/search?btnI=I%27m+Feeling+Lucky&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=
    * Google "Browse by Name": http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=

  • Web search box not working

    I have the latest version of Firefox for my MacBook Pro. It was working fine up until a couple months ago. I've always used the web search box as a quick way to find what I was looking for. Now, if I type in anything in the web search box (far right side of navigation menu bar) and hit return, nothing happens. I click on the spyglass and nothing happens. I have to open Google's homepage and do the search there. Anyone know why this suddenly stopped working and/or how to get it functioning again?
    I've tried re-installing Firefox and resetting the default settings on the navigation bar.
