I can't really say what went wrong with the previous code you tried,
but here is how i would do it:
<%= text_field :contact ,:name,:class=>'roundRect',:id=>'name' %>
<%=link_to_remote('Go',
:url =>{:controller => 'main', :action=> 'search'},
:with => "'contact[name]=' + $('contact_name').value")%>
@bill walton: Can you use the :submit parameter of link_to_remote even
without wrapping the inputs in form tag? The documentation seems to
suggest so, but i've never tried ....
