you should use Form helper class for creating forms: http://laravel.com/docs/html

second, you must setup a route that will receive the ajax call, ie

Route::post( 'form', 'PricingController@postForm' )

then your ajax code with jquery, would something like this

$.ajax( {
     url: '/form',
     data: $( 'form' ).serialize(),
     method: 'post'

} ).done( function( dataReponse ) {
     console.log( dataResponse );

} ).fail( function( xhr, statusCode, msg ) {
     console.err( statusCode, msg );
} );

Yeah I will use the form helper class once I have it working.

the data: $('form') part what is that or can i ref an ID #form for example?

whatever you like, obviously the selector has to match a single element

How would I then respond within a table?

please elaborate more, I don't understand that question

Then in my controller method do something like?

 $q = Input::get('term');
 $pricing = Pricing::where('unit', 'LIKE', '%'. $q .'%');

Or do you suggest something else ?

There's a done & fail function which I get but how would i render in a view the response? In order to show the data from the selected row to my table?

Nope, js works after the page has been completely downloaded and rendered, so you cannot render again the view, for that thing you need to refresh the page, but it's non sense, because if you need to refresh the page after the user has trigger an action, like a form post, then don't use ajax
