Searching in Parallel using AJAX

Many new files have been added to the project. At this point, a basic UI has been created to select a set of academic databases to search and to enter a keyword search for those databases. When the search is run, a series of AJAX calls are made (one to each database) to collect the search results. Those search results are stored in a mysql database and will be instantly available for cached searches. Only the display of the search results needs to be finished for the application to be at a functionally logical point that can be added to by project developers.
