if what you're looking for is a substring match as opposed to a begins-with
match then see the matchContains option:

http://docs.jquery.com/Plugins/Autocomplete/autocomplete#url_or_dataoptions

and compare the first and third demos:

http://view.jquery.com/trunk/plugins/autocomplete/demo/

if using remote search, your backend search code should implement whatever
kind of search you need, which should be compatible with the caching options
you set in autocomplete().
