I tried, but it does not work. The sitaution I have is that user has a
radio button to specify under what context search is performed. As
user check the box, input field is put in focus, input value cleared,
previous autocomplete removed and new one added. However, it does
not remove previous one, so depending on how many times radio button
is clicked, I get that many web service calls.
