Exactly ... the questions is how ... here;s the autocomplete script
I'm using - I cannot see any way to add a list item that is outside of
the loop AND part of the return ...
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#searchName").autocomplete(data, {
matchContains: true,
formatItem: function(item) {
return item.text;
}
}).result(function(event, item) {
location.href = item.url;
});
});
