Changed API from suggestCompletion to Search and added required parameters as well as HTML markup around results list.
- Added fallback search so if no local results are found, the intent is switched to global and all of foursquare is searched. - Commented out some debug lines. - Changed result list to contain data attributes for venue data.
And other logic/output improvements

Switched to using the search API - in my testing, the results were significantly more accurate than the suggestCompletion API. Also allows for some improvements for local accuracy - as the user types, it initially searches within 50 miles but if no results are found, it does a global check to find matches. Also added some markup around the results list to add venue data to links.
Some of this might be specific to the app I'm integrating it with but I thought the improvements might useful to others as well. Thanks a ton for the core.
