Tidying Up Search w/ Animations

On the last project I did over @Legwork one of the parts I was stoked on was where we wound up with the search widget / module / area / thingy.

Animations are so hot right now, but I think this shows where they really add value. Instead of cluttering the search field with all the things a user can search, we animated the different types of categories that can be searched. The results area is pre-populated with popular tags. Then, when activating the search field that area is used for instant results of ingredient and occasion tags.

It ended up sort of ½ quick tag lookup ½ actual search.
