Why is submit not taking me to results page and search log empty?
I am trying to implement Categories search per the example on LowSearch site, but when I click the submit button, the page simply refreshes; it does not go to the search_results page and nothing appears in the search logs. Below is a link to the code, can you see what I am doing wrong? Thanks!

Does the "search_results" template group exist? And does the index template of that group contain the Results tag?
If you View Source the form page, what does the <form>-tag look like?
Also, you're targeting the same category group twice -- once using two single drop downs, once using checkbox groups. That comes directly from the example; something to demonstrate the two options you can use. I suggest you choose one of those which should suit your needs best.

Thanks for the quick reply!
Yes, "search_results" template group exists, and the index template of that group contains the Results tag like so: http://pastie.org/private/lkohblabk8a... .
The form tag looks like so: http://pastie.org/private/8az2gdjivgk... .
I removed the checkbox groups from my code, and the new snippet is here: http://pastie.org/private/agqqkdlwu3i... , but I'm still not seeing the search_results page and the search log is still empty.
What else should I look at? Any other ideas about what I might be doing wrong?

I'll need to take a look myself. Please send SuperAdmin login credentials to hi at gotolow dot com if you can.

Ah, should've seen this from the start. You have required="keywords" in the form, but no keywords field in the form. When a required field is not given, the form will redirect from where you came, so it looks like it just refreshes the page.
Remove the required="" param from the form, and all should be well.
