the ajax_trap=True fixed the form which nows call search_bar... but redirect
(URL('services', vars={'qry':form.vars.qry})) is rendered inside the
component....
What I'm trying to do, is to include a simple form in the layout.html that
calls a function (as it is now, with the ajax_trap trick), and if it is not
empty, it will redirect to a different page (loading the whole page)....
