I have an application that receives user input that I would like to have also index that input, by keyword, into a search database. Realizing that this could be potentially time consuming, does anyone have any suggestions on the best way to accomplish this?
Some ideas I've had are:
Pop up window that calls the indexing routine, but some users disable popups.
IMG tag that calls the indexing routine in the page header that returns a transparent pixel when complete, but the page could load and the user could move on before it has completed.
Creating an indexing page ( similar to "searching" pages ) but that add an additional step to everything.
Just index the data and have the user wait...
