They usually document what the ajax call provides to the server (and should). I finally sorted it out enough to get it to work. The value entered in the textfield is passed along as a parameter named 'q'. The write up had mentioned the 'id' attribute of the field, leading me to think the value would be sent as a parameter named the same as the id, which seemed logical at the time. But it wasn't working. Actually I found I was able to append '?name=value' to the first parameter in the .flexbox() and thus give two flexboxes a 'dependent' behavior (2nd one limiting results to a subset of values based on the value in the 1st one).
