This is how I do it and it works. Use the "text changed" event for textbox.
Put the code you want to run in the ExecuteSearch() sub:
Private Sub searchbox _TextChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles searchbox .TextChanged
ExecuteSearch()
End Sub
Private Sub searchbutton_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.ImageClickEv
ExecuteSearch()
End Sub
Private Sub ExecuteSearch()
If Trim(searchbox .Text) <> "" Then
' Your Code you want to run . . . . . . .
..................
End If
End Sub
