I’m not sure why, all I did was permit the auto-complete to show. It still fills out the input box the same, just less user interaction. The above scenarios fail to return anything even if I type a space after auto-complete, which either means, it isn’t sending the query, or the server-side is failing to return anything/process the search (which wasn’t touched with auto-complete)
It could be though, but I don’t recall doing any trim or what-not, but that was months ago.
