The example above would give you a page analogous to facebook’s “news feed” (home page)- so the frame loads fairly instantaneously and the results populate it afterwards.

The SERP with a page load (perceived as a noticable flicker) may be an essential part of the users expectation, and AJAX may actually violate that expectation if done without care. At least some form of visual feedback, usually a spinner, must be provided to help the user direct his/her attention to the update.

I’d love to see your example done with the Templates plugin for jQuery. That should clean up your code nicely :-)
