BasicDisplayFormRenderer Demo

This demo uses a BasicDisplayFormRenderer to show the results of a search on the Shakespeare Glossary. (For details on how this source is created see the ResultParserFormatter demo.)

Enter a Shakespearean term (for example try: 'bodkin' or 'Tickle-brain' ):

No Results

This demo has a limitation in that you must provide a valid search term in order to get a definition. For an improvement on this demo, see the BrowseLinkElementRenderer demo in which a browse list of all of the available search terms is provided to add in query term selection.
