jQuery not working on Wordpress site

I built this simple search function for a FAQ page that displays live results and it works great locally and on jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/y8mkF/7/

However, I can not get it to work on Wordpress. Here's what I've tried so far:

Inserting the html portion into Wordpress text field.

I tried putting the javascript inside the post area as well by using:

<script type="text/javascript" src="/scripts/search.js"> </script>
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
updatepage();
//--></script>

and still it will not work. Is there a special way to put custom jQuery into Wordpress or what? It should not be this hard. I appreciate anyone's help on this. Thank you.

wordpress do not allow insert script into post, you can edit your theme to include script.

Try this in your functions.php file,

function load_jQuery() { // load external file  
    wp_register_script('jquery', ("http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.2/jquery.min.js"), false);
    wp_enqueue_script('jquery');
    wp_register_script('search', get_template_directory_uri() . '/_/js/search.js', array('jquery') );
    wp_enqueue_script('search');
}  
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'load_jQuery');

Source from Wordpress wp_enqueue_script Not Working
