As a Consumer, I can perform a Simple Search and fill in a state, then add more states, and then see a list of search results

API for this should work now, see: 18F/open-data-maker#76 for the syntax

@LisaGee I just want to raise a little alarm bell on this one. Implementing @jjoteal's design has proven to be trickier than I'd expected. My preference would be to use a native multi-select, as implied by the region selector in #328 (the drop-down that says "Region(s)"). Any chance you'd be okay with that for the beta?

[LisaGee]

Yup. MVP is that a user (on phone or Desktop) can select either multiple States or multiple Regions. Best way we can do that done in the amount of time we have to accomplish that, I’m good with!

Ugggggh. So multi-selects look completely different, and we have to show a handful of values in order to make sure that people know they can select them. Also, as @meiqimichelle has noted several times, it's a major faux pas to put keyboard help along with these, but I can't think of any other way to do it nicely so here's where I am now:

This turns out to be one of those web design things where the native control has serious usability issues (in this case, many people just don't know how to select multiple values), but the alternative is tricky to implement. My question is: Is this good enough for the beta?
