What is this called?

[Craig Willowood]

The user perceives that he/she has immediate access to all records (perhaps millions of records) in his/her browser. But in reality, only the first few records are in the browser. When the user types into the Search box, an Ajax call queries the database using the user's input and refreshes the screen. Datatables calls this "Server Side Processing". I'm wondering if the is a more generic name for it. Thank you.

I'd lean more toward 'ajax request' if you are searching for solutions.

"Autosuggest"?

CF literally has a feature for this, though it's based on javascript-based UI components that many eschew--saying "you ought to build it yourself, not leverage CF's training wheels" for a number of reasons. At least if you look into what CF offers and how it works, it may help you move to a more generic equivalent if that's what you're seeking.

Thank you everyone for the input. I learned from this post by Yieng Ly:
https://yiengly.wordpress.com/tag/deferrender/
that Datatables has a deferRender setting. I tried it and works.
The example is in small "d" datatables, but it also works in big "D" Datatables.
