Ok, lets try this one again.  The blur event alone was not a good 
option, because it also fires before search results are clicked and 
prevents handling that click.

Instead, we need to watch for mouseover / mouseout on the search results 
and see if the resulting blur is the result of a click outside the 
search results.  If it is, then we can close the search results.

Did I ever mention I hate iFrames? :)

Thanks,
Jeff
