Why does Jquery AJAX adds some path to the relative path?

I have this the below code

$.ajax({
        url: "search/prefetch",
        success: function (data) {
            $(".result").html(data);
            alert("Load was performed.");
        },
        dataType: "json"
    });

the request, however, is made to http://<myhost>/<another-path>/search/prefetch

This request is performed when the current page is http://<myhost>/<another-path>/<some-other-paths>

How can I make the request to http://<myhost>/search/prefetch?

Relativity is the answer.

search/prefetch => mysite.com/<current_uri>/search/prefetch

/search/prefetch => mysite.com/search/prefetch

Just prefix your url with a /

$.ajax({
    url: "/search/prefetch",
    success: function (data) {
        $(".result").html(data);
        alert("Load was performed.");
    },
    dataType: "json"
});

What you are currently doing is telling the browser to take the current url path and append this path to the end of it. By prefixing it with a / you now are telling the browser to take the current url path and replace it with this new path.
