Ruby rails - jquery auto complete - combine multiple values for a list item

问题

How do I parse values of an rails instance variable to create an auto complete list of jQuery? So my '/user/search' return an instance variable with multiple values per item. I wanna combine them and present as a list item.

def search
  if (params[:term] =~ /[a-zA-Z]/)
    @result = User.FindLdap("sAMAccountName", params[:term])
  else
    @result = User.FindLdap("idnumber", params[:term])
  end
  respond_to do |format|
    format.html { render :partial => 'text_for_autocomplete'}
    format.js
  end
end

I am using jQuery's example code, but it has a way to display each item list as it is. In my case I retrieve multiple ldap attributes and I want to show those attributes values for each list item. So each list item shall be like ""#{sAMAccountName}", "#{idnumber}"" seperated by a comma, instead of just value of idnumber that was typed in the text field.

$(function() {
    $("#term").autocomplete({
        source: function (request, response) {
            $.post("/users/search", request, response);
        },
        minLength: 2,
        select: function( event, ui ) {
            log( ui.item ?
                "Selected: " + ui.item.value + " aka " + ui.item.id :
                "Nothing selected, input was " + this.value );
        } #No idea how it can be done here. 
    });
});

I get this in the list, html of the partial render -

First of all you need to look at JBuilder. JBuilder is strong, well-defined and reliable solution for json-output.
