- The business wants to show off the vendor listings,

Not sure that I agree that multiple search fields are an unqualified

A complement to a unified, categorized search results page could be
showing
a version of that search results page as a live popup right under
the field.
This makes sense for well-defined lists like directories, where
people know
what they want (e.g. I know I'm looking for 'Carly Fiorina'). This
lets
people quickly get to what they're looking for without waiting for the
results page to load first.
