Hints corresponding with the text right from the start about jquery-autocomplete HOT 8 CLOSED

You can provide your own function that determines what should be included. See lookupFilter function in the source and documentation. In your case it should be:

lookupFilter: function (suggestion, originalQuery, queryLowerCase) {
    return suggestion.value.toLowerCase().indexOf(queryLowerCase) === 0;
}

Thanks, that is exactly what I meant.

Hi, I'm here again!
Is it also possible for the hints to have only the starting letters highlighted?
Example:
I am starting to type ROVER and when I type the first letter R, both the first and the last R is highlighted so it is like:
R O V E R. But I need only the first letter to be highlighted so it would be like: R O V E R.
Thanks.

Hi, you will need to provide your own formatResult function. I slightly modified the default, this should do the job:

formatResult: function (suggestion, currentValue) {
    var reEscape = new RegExp('(\\' + ['/', '.', '*', '+', '?', '|', '(', ')', '[', ']', '{', '}', '\\'].join('|\\') + ')', 'g'),
        pattern = '^(' + currentValue.replace(reEscape, '\\$1') + ')';

    return suggestion.value.replace(new RegExp(pattern, 'gi'), '<strong>$1<\/strong>');
}

Hi,

How i can sort the result. I like to sort my suggestions that exact match letter come first and rest of the result after that. for example

when i type app the first result should show app, apple, application and and rest like other matching like web application etc.

Please help

If results are coming from the server, then sorting is server responsibility. If client side, then you will need to alter the source in the getSuggestionsLocal function and sort data before returning.
