Answer 1

You need to return a hash

Your autocomplete action in doctors controller need to look like this :

def autocomplete
  render json: Doctor.search(params[:query], autocomplete: true, limit: 10).map do |doctor| { name: doctor.name, city: doctor.city, country: doctor.country }
  end
end

Add displayKey in your typeahead option:

$( function () {
   $("#search").typeahead({
    name: "doctor",
    displayKey: 'name',
    remote: "/doctors/autocomplete?query=%QUERY"
  });
});
