Unfortunately that doesn't seem to be the issue. I removed the line of code adding in the strong tab, but am still seeing the failed autocompleter on first attempt. I typed in "Ja" and got nothing. "Jam" and I get the corresponding results. Back to "Ja" (by just hitting backspace) and I get the corresponding results.
