Finding articles is always nice. This makes it a lot easier for the user to find the right content on your site. We'll put in a really simple yet effective search here.

using Microsoft.AspNet.SignalR;
namespace Chapter3.Hubs
{
public class SearchHub : Hub
{
ArticleContext _articleContext;
public SearchHub()
{
_articleContext = new ArticleContext();
}
public IEnumerable<Article> GetArticlesContaining(string phrase)
{
return _articleContext.GetArticlesContaining(phrase);
}
}

$(function () {
var searchInput = document.getElementById("searchInput")...
