jQuery Ajax guess-type/predict issue
<p>I am having to use jQuery I did not write, it was included in a template.</p>

<p>There is a function that does a 'guess type,' and uses the main navigation as the data to search against. As you type, pages within the site come up in the dropdown.</p>

<p>I need customer names from a database to dropdown, but I can't seem to get the function to work.</p>

<pre><code>function searchInNav(s)
    {
        // Split keywords
        var keywords = s.toLowerCase().split(/\s+/);
        var nbKeywords = keywords.length;

        // Search links
        //var links = $('nav a'); // original
          var links = [];

        // LOAD CUSTOMERS AND EVENTS
        $.post('includes/ajax/global.php', { list: 'search', text: keywords },
            function(data){
                alert(data);
                links.push($(data));
            },
            "html"
        );

        var matches = [];
        links.each(function(i)
        {
            var text = $(this).text().toLowerCase();
            var textMatch = true;
            for (var i = 0; i &lt; nbKeywords; ++i)
            {
                if (text.indexOf(keywords[i]) == -1)
                {
                    textMatch = false;
                    break;
                }
            }

            if (textMatch)
            {
                // All keywords found
                matches.push(this);
            }
        });

        // Build results list
        var nbMatches = matches.length;
        if (nbMatches &gt; 0)
        {
            var output = '&lt;p class="results-count"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;'+nbMatches+'&lt;/strong&gt; match'+((nbMatches &gt; 1) ? 'es' : '')+'&lt;/p&gt;';
            output += '&lt;ul class="small-files-list icon-html"&gt;';

            for (var m = 0; m &lt; nbMatches; ++m)
            {
                // Text with highlighted keywords
                var link = $(matches[m]);
                var text = link.text();
                var path = [text];
                for (var i = 0; i &lt; nbKeywords; ++i)
                {
                    text = text.replace(new RegExp('('+keywords[i]+')', 'gi'), '&lt;strong&gt;$1&lt;/strong&gt;');
                }

                // Path
                var parent = link;
                while ((parent = parent.parent().parent().prev('a')) &amp;&amp; parent.length &gt; 0)
                {
                    path.push(parent.text());
                }

                output += '&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="'+matches[m].href+'"&gt;'+text+'&lt;br&gt;&lt;small&gt;'+path.reverse().join(' &gt; ')+'&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;';
            }

            return output+'&lt;/ul&gt;';
        }
        else
        {
            return '&lt;p class="results-count"&gt;'+settings.messageNoMatches+'&lt;/p&gt;';
        }
    };

<p>I keep getting errors with the links.each line, saying Object has not method each.</p>

<p>What do I need to fix?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>
