The Lightning Jump Web Part for SharePointis an autosuggest solution for navigation using predefined Keywords. As you type into the Lightning Jump Web Part you are presented with a list of suggested Keywords, once you have chosen your keyword and click go you are taken to the Keywords' URL. The Keywords can be managed using the Keywords SharePoint list at the Root Web of the Site Collection where you can add new keywords, manage and set permissions on the keywords.

You can also choose where you want the user to be taken if they enter an invalid Keyword, by default they are taken to the View All Keywords page where they are presented with a list of keywords which are available to them. You could however pass their search query on to the Search Centre or even redirect them to a Google search if you wanted to.

The View All Page shows the user all keywords which they can access, if their permissions do not allow them to see a keyword then it will not appear on this page. This means that you could set up some Keywords to take you to the administration pages of your site and only the people who have access can use the keyword.

The Web Part uses JavaScript so there is no need to have the Ajax .Net Framework installed to use this solution.
