Ajax.BeginForm preload data

I have this view and everything fine with Ajax.BeginForm:

<h2>Index</h2>

@using (Ajax.BeginForm("Search", new AjaxOptions {
    HttpMethod = "GET", 
    InsertionMode = InsertionMode.Replace, 
    UpdateTargetId = "users"
})) {
    <input name="q" type="text" />
    <input type="submit" value="Search" />
}

<div class="table-responsive" id="users">
</div>

But, i have a little question.

Right now, when i open this page, there are no table with data - it loads only when form is submitted.

So, my question: is it possible to have preload data (without adding other code)?

When page is loaded, i would like to have already all data without filtering (input uses for filtering when value is typed and form submitted).

Just call your Search action from users div when the page loads. You may not specify any parameter or use the default one. I assume you have something like this:

public ActionResult Search(string q)
{
    var users = _usersRepository.GetAll();
    if(!string.IsNullOrEmpty(q))
        users = users.Where(user => string.Equals(user.Name, q));
    return PartialView("_Search", users);
}

And in the view:

<div class="table-responsive" id="users">
    @Html.Action("Search")
</div>
