No more results, stop searching

Recommended Posts

I am currently using AJAX to do an "Auto-complete".

 

Using the following:

if(ibox.value.length > 3 && result.length == 0 && found == 0){
connect[0].open("POST", '/process/getSuggestions.php', true);
connect[0].setRequestHeader("Content-Type", connect[1]);
connect[0].send(va);
}

 

I connect to the server and obtain the results

 

If there are no results after previous results were returned, I don't want to do what is in the if() statement.

Basically it is like Google's auto complete, when someone types something it searches for something to search for and suggests it.

I currently have the same thing, but after the person types something and say he/she gets results then if he/she keeps typing and soon there are no suggestions left, and then I want to stop going into the if() statement because that will just be a lot of work on my server.

 

How can I do this?
