jQuery Autocomplete - Show List on Double Click

Question

I'm creating an autocomplete on a web page using jQuery's AutoComplete plugin.

Does anyone know how to make the list show, if for example, someone has entered 3 characters, then clicked out of the input box, but then goes back to it?

$("#details_business_trade").autocomplete({
    source: resultsSplit,
    autoFill: true,
    mustMatch: true,
    close: function() { $("#createProspect").validate().element("#details_business_trade"); },
    mustMatch: true
});

This is my code so far...

You can trigger a search using the current value when it's re-focused by using the search method, like this:

$("#details_business_trade").autocomplete({
    source: resultsSplit,
    autoFill: true,
    mustMatch: true,
    close: function() { $("#createProspect").validate().element("#details_business_trade"); },
    mustMatch: true
}).focus(function() {
    $(this).autocomplete("search");
});

It's not your example, but here's a jQuery UI Demo updated with the same concept, search for "act" for example.
