Well first off, you're doing a GET request, and it sounds like you
want to do a POST request. Also 'data' in most javascript libraries
takes an object/dictionary of data, you have a single string. This
too may cause issues.
$this->Js->get('input')->event('click', $this->Js->request(
array('action' => 'search'),
array('update' => 'target',
'dataExpression' => true,
'data' => '{value:$(input).val()}'
)));
One more thing, your selector is extremely greedy, and will bind
events to every input on the page, this is probably not what you
wanted. Or perhaps it is, I dunno.
