I had to do a bit more work to get this working using an $http service.

The service:

app.factory("AutoCompleteService", ["$http", function ($http) {
    return {
        search: function (term) {
            return $http.get("http://YourServiceUrl.com/" + term).then(function (response) {
                return response.data;
            });
        }
    };
}]);

The directive:

app.directive("autocomplete", ["AutoCompleteService", function (AutoCompleteService) {
    return {
        restrict: "A",
        link: function (scope, elem, attr, ctrl) {
            elem.autocomplete({
                source: function (searchTerm, response) {
                    AutoCompleteService.search(searchTerm.term).then(function (autocompleteResults) {
                        response($.map(autocompleteResults, function (autocompleteResult) {
                            return {
                                label: autocompleteResult.YourDisplayProperty,
                                value: autocompleteResult 
                            }
                        }))
                    });
                },
                minLength: 3,
                select: function (event, selectedItem) {
                    // Do something with the selected item, e.g. 
                    scope.yourObject= selectedItem.item.value;
                    scope.$apply();
                    event.preventDefault();
                }
            });
        }
    };
}]);
