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! -Adam
