Limit the result in jQuery Autocomplete

Question

How can you set a limit on the result from the jQuery autocomplete?

This is my code:

        $.ajax({
            url: \"/cache/search/SearchModels.x         


        

Answer 1

Why not limit the data that your query returns from your xml source?

Edit:

You have to remember that the autocomplete functionality is essentially using a regex to match items in the datasource. Having a large datasource is bad because it has to parse so much data simply to find the correct item.
