To no avail, I tried adding this line: $('#topic1').trigger('keydown');
I also tried it as: $('#topic1').trigger('keypress'); to make this function like this: $('#topic1').focus(function(){ $('#topic1').search(); $('#topic1').trigger('keydown'); }); neither caused it to work. As I did mention, the .search worked to cause the query to go to the server and the server returned results, but the results weren't displayed.
