Bing provides a JSON interface that allows developers to consume the search results in many creative ways. The purpose of this plug-in is to reduce the load on BlogEngine.NET by offloading search onto Bing. This plug-in will automatically switch to the internal search engine if no results are returned by Bing; further site visitors can also manually click on "Use Internal Search" to get results from the BlogEngine.NET search system.

To test this plug-in simply search for anything in the Khoofia.com SearchBar. Put it simply, I'm publishing the code used to enable search on Khoofia.com.

The plug-in requires JQuery and uses the Simple Modal Dialog developed by Eric Martin.
