Time taken to apply search to view panel

I have an XPage which I am using as a search page. My users enter data and when they click the Search button, I run a SSJS script to set a sessionScope variable with the search string, do a full update of the page and display a DominoView with the "search" property set to the value of the sessionScope variable. This works fine

I would like to add a field showing how long the search took from the moment the user clicked the button to the moment the results were displayed
In my SSJS, the first thing I do is set a sessionScope variable to Now.

I cannot seem to find the place to put the setting of the finish time (I've tried afterPageLoad, afterRestoreView, beforeRenderResponse, afterRenderResponse, postViewOpen) but the calculation is just not working.

It would be great if I could create a "searchCompleted" event (or listener) - any suggestions on that approach

Any suggestions gratefully received

Mike

- I use beforePageLoad for about everything in SSJS, it seems. Did you try that one? If you're doing a full reload that should fire, and it will do so at a point where changes you make will appear in the rendering.

- Alternatively put SSJS in the element that reports the time. That will run during the render and compute your value. Something like this:

<xp:text value="#{javascript:(Now - sessionScope.yourvar);}" />

Hope this helps.
