Thanks Fred. You pointed me in the right direction.
The problem seemed to be in the form_remote_tag element. I changed "text_field" to "text_field_tag" which got rid of the double params for description. I also changed the div name by adding "_div" to it on the possibility that having the same method and div name might have caused the confusion. Then adding a "render :nothing => true" to the search_remote method cleaned out the div. In the future, I think I'll add a separate search page.
