//this is a container script that will call the javascript to paint the authorsearch div, it will eventually be coded to make the search a bit less responsive DONE
//so it doesnt just pound the dbase
//this works by the userer making a search request and the reqid being stored as a javascript varibale, if the user makes another request before the first was processed,
//it will cancel the first and honor the second, maknig a search for a five letter word into 1 querry instead of 5, one for each letter,
//assuming the user can type faster than 1 letter per 500ms

		//but, it will stop normal users from seeing javascript errors if they type a single qutoe
		//and plus, i check in the php down the road before it actually hits the dbase anyway
		//take that 'your 1337ness'

//this will effectivly close the results div by passing an empty search term
//it uses a settimeout function to do it after 350ms
//this is done becouse when a user clicks on a link, the search box is blurred, and the link wont work, so it is closed after a delay
//this settiemout is canceled if a search is run in the meantime
//this happens when a user clicks on the feild and it has seomthing in it,
