As it is, your component is not an Ajax component, and it is also not set
up to trap form submissions via Ajax. So, when you submit the form, it will
be submitted to the function of the parent page, not to the search_bar
function. If you want the component to be loaded via Ajax, then set
ajax=True (and the form will automatically be submitted via Ajax to the
search_bar function). If you don't want an Ajax component but want the form
submitted to the search_bar function, then set ajax_trap=True -- that will
trap the form submission and submit it via Ajax to search_bar. Another
option would be to explicitly set the form's "action" attribute to submit
to the search_bar action, but in that case the entire page will reload with
the response from search_bar, which presumably is not what you want.
