I am using the local data array to populate the typeahead list.

After a button on my form is clicked,  I want to update local data
array with new values.

If I try to call the original autocomplete function again:

$("#search_query").autocomplete(eval(data), {multiple: true,
multipleSeparator: " "});

It appears to now be running two versions of autocomplete for the same
field and causes some strange behavior.

Is there a proper way to update the local data array?  (or a
destructor in jquery for the original autocomplete instance?)

Or am I stuck using the URL parameter for autocomplete?  (which I
think may eventually lead to performance issues - because if fires off
on keypress?)

Thanks!
