ajax/jquery

[c_pattle]

I am trying to use jquery for my AJAX request but am having a bit of trouble.  My AJAX works but I am not sure how to get the response from the PHP page.  My PHP script echo's some text but I am not sure how to append this text.  I am trying to use data but I'm not sure if that's right.  My script is below. 

 

$("#search").change(function() {

	var searchterm = $("input#search").val();

	var searchString = 'search_term='+ searchterm;



	$.ajax({

		type: "POST",

		url: "update_location.php",

		data: searchString,

		success: function(data) {

			$('#search_bar_hints').append(data);

		}

	});

	return false;

});
