The one element so far I dislike out of this is having search redirect to a new page.
This is something SPAs are doing as well, though in the case of, say Google Web Search (last I used it directly, which is months if not years ago). Namely, when I begin typing a search the currently-displayed content blanks out.
Why is this annoying?
Because often what I'm typing is being prompted by that content, and if I can't continue to view it as I'm typing my search I lose that context and my train of thought.
So: embed your search directly in every page on your website, rather than having it be a separate page. It's fine for the results page to redirect elsewhere, and if the search mechanics need that page to function, so be it (that's what form submissions are all about).
But other than that, I like the implementation, after realising that it was the blogpage and site themselves which were the demonstration. (I'm ... slow like that sometimes.)
