Example taken from the link you added in your question :

        $( "#birds" ).autocomplete({
            source: "search.php", // remote site
            minLength: 2,
            select: function( event, ui ) {
                log( ui.item ?
                    "Selected: " + ui.item.value + " aka " + ui.item.id :
                    "Nothing selected, input was " + this.value );
            }
        });
