Livesearch using php and ajax not working - php

Question

I have a Ajax PHP MySQL live search that basically pulls out manufacturing items from a MySQL database and presents them in a drop-down list, as users enter they search term, one item per line, just like searching in Google.
What I need is a way to allow users to click on a particular link item, and for that to display data on the same page, just below the item(link) clicked.
Any help would be appreciated.
1.HTML form
<form class="navbar-form navbar-left" action="javascript:">
<div class="input-group">
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="searchbox1" name="q" token="<?=$csrf->token()?>" action='search1' placeholder="Search for Templates" autocomplete="off">
<div class="input-group-btn">
<button class="btn btn-default " id="searchbtn1" type="submit">
<i class="fa fa-search"></i></button>
</div>
</div>
<div id="livesearch1"></div>
</form>
2. AJAX Call seperate .js file
$('#searchbox1').on('keyup focus', function(e) {
var b = $(this).attr();
delete b.class, delete b.placeholder, delete b.id, delete b.name, delete b.type, delete b.autocomplete;
b.q = $(this).val();
if (b.q != '' && b.q.length > 0) {
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: api,
data: b,
cache: false,
success: function(a) {
$("#livesearch1").html(a);
$("#livesearch1").fadeIn();
}
});
} else {
$("#livesearch1").fadeOut();
}
});
$('#searchbox1').on('blur', function(e) {
$('#livesearch1').fadeOut();
});
3. api call
case 'search':
if($app->isAdmin() || $app->isEditor() || $app->isUser())
{
$app->escape('q');
ob_start();
ajaxsearch($q);
echo $result = ob_get_clean();
// json('success','true','results',$result);
}
break;
4. .php file
function ajaxsearch1($q){
$db = MysqliDb::getInstance();
$csrf = new Csrf_Protect();
$q = removeWhiteSpace($q);
$q = htmlspecialchars_decode($q,ENT_QUOTES);
$q = preg_replace('/[^a-zA-Z0-9.-. .).(]/', '', $q);
if(strlen($q) >0 )
{
$term = $q;
$searchterm = explode(' ',$term);
$searchColumns = array("name","slug");
$searchCondition = '';
for($i = 0; $i < count($searchColumns); $i++)
{
$searchFieldName = $searchColumns[$i];
$searchCondition .= "($searchFieldName LIKE '%" . implode("%' AND $searchFieldName LIKE '%", $searchterm) . "%')";
if($i+1 < count($searchColumns)) $searchCondition .= " OR ";
}
$res = $db->rawQuery("SELECT * FROM tbl_templates WHERE ($searchCondition) AND (version='1') order by id desc Limit 10 ");
foreach($res as $sr)
{ ?><li><?=ucfirst($sr['name'])?></li><?php
}
}
}
?>

This was a parameter issue.
data was not in the $q it was in the $name code should be something like this.
case 'search':
if($app->isAdmin() || $app->isEditor() || $app->isUser())
{
$app->escape('name');
ob_start();
ajaxsearch($name);
echo $result = ob_get_clean();
}
break;
