One of my sites had a problem on AJAX search while the user is typing the site without www, so I made a solution here.

here is the tips that you can always redirect all url requests to have www. as a fixed prefix by having .htaccess file in the site root. Also, it is a good practice that search engine will treat the both url (with and without www) as the same. Hence, the spider process will go more smooth. (SEF) ......

Create a file called ".htaccess" in site root.

Inside the file (change YourSiteUrl to your real URL):

Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.YourSiteUrl\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule !^blog(/.*)?$ http://www.YourSiteUrl%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]

Now it should be prefect that when people type YourSiteUrl.com or YourSiteUrl.com/somewebpage.htm, it will automatic redirect it and add www. to it in no time.
