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

This is what I did based on some reading of the autocomplete API docs

$input.autocomplete({
  source: function( request, response ) {
    $.getJSON('search.php', request, function( data, status, xhr ) {
      // return a max of 10 results.
      response( data.slice(0, 9) );
    });
  }
})

Following this pattern saves having to do any funky stuff in the render layer.
