No item selected on ExactMatch about jquery-autocomplete HOT 4 CLOSED

Yes, that is by design. If there are more matches, allow user to type more or they should select an option.

from jquery-autocomplete.

If user just types"Andorra", why it is not equal to select "Andora"? I think it is poor design. User selected this value by typing. Ok, how can I detect Exact Match in this case?

I think you should be able to figure out why ...

The user can just press enter to select it. Else you would not be able to type "Andorra 12", it would jump directory to "Andorra".

You could (ab)use onSearchComplete for this :

		onSearchComplete: function (query, suggestion) { 

			if(query == suggestion[0].value)
			{
				console.log("we should select this one");
			}
		},

Most certainly there are more elegant solutions possible.
