Sometimes functionality gets in the way of usability.

I'd recommend cleaning up the search to assume defaults and get one-click search capability with an "advanced search" option.

See which decision flows can be minimized:
Open-ended search currently requires the following:
View Entry --> Search --> Submit --> Search for? --> Submit --> Text entry --> Search Entries

Why not:
Search --> Goes to search screen
- Search screen has "View All" quick button
- Search screen has text field for open-ended search and drop-down list for "type" that defaults to "Business Name" with one submit button for both fields

AND/OR
A search field that is part of the header and available from any screen. . . can't you integrate Google search of your own site for free? Just brainstorming.
