So if I understand correctly you want to store the selected value in a variable sessions

you can get the value out of the selected item through following code:

  $(".autosearch-smart").autocomplete('Home/GetCompanyNames', {
minChars: 1,
width: 402,
matchContains: "word",
autoFill: true,
select: function (event, ui) {
    var label = ui.item.label;
    var value = ui.item.value;
   //store in session
  document.valueSelectedForAutocomplete = value 
}
});

the value and label are json objects that came from the server

Hope this helps
