Added AJAX powered drink recipe search...what do you think?

    I noticed on the reviews from StumbleUpon for my drink recipe website, drink'em, that some guy thought it might be a good idea for me to add a search feature. This was something I had in mind, but I put it in the back of my mind and forgot about it.

    Well, I read that review and I decided, better now that never. With over 9,000 recipes, a search feature is a MUST have. So, I decided to throw one together.

    It's powered by AJAX so you can search and search and search and never have to leave the page. There is also a nice little feature that'll show you a little definition of the recipe before you click the link to the recipe page so you know you've found just what you're looking for.

    Check it out and tell me what you think:
    http://drinkem.com/search.php

    I've also bought some SU credits and I'm going to spend a few bucks promoting this and hopefully I'll get some positive reviews.

    Thanks! :)

    Kind of loads slow for me, but I like how the searches appear there right away! One suggestion: Make the search button.. look like a button? At first I thought it was just text.

    Looking good :)

    Okay, I've made some changes and it should work a little faster. I also created a "search button". How does it look now?

    I don't know...I think I'll keep it the way it is unless I get some negative feedback from other people. I like the way it looks... :)
