What is a current good version of the autocomplete for jquery?

I saw this post http://stackoverflow.com/questions/188442/whats-a-good-ajax-autocomplete-plugin-for-jquery

However I can't downgrade the UI for other parts of the site, and autocomplete is not a part of the newer 1.7.

Suggestions?

This is a very nice auto-complete textboxlist for jQuery: http://devthought.com/projects/jquery/textboxlist/

This is not jquery, this is mootools, I've had bad experiences in conflicts mixing the 2 libs

I updated the link to the jquery one. From the same people, same design, just using jquery instead of mootools. The blog entry i linked to just linked to the mootools one instead.

I have been using the one from bassistance.de (http://bassistance.de/jquery-plugins/jquery-plugin-autocomplete/) and find it to be useful in terms of extensibility and usability. It does have some strangeness if you use it in "multiselect" mode and start deleting items out of the list but I get around that by having an html select box with multiselect enabled on the "source" and "destination" and then set the options from the source box as the source to the autocomplete. It works great!

This plugin allows you to set your source to an AJAX or static source and then provide custom formatters to pull the text/value out when you need to.

I am trying to reference 30K records in my DB and this script mixed with FF is freezing it. Code: $("#create-new-drink").autocomplete("/units/autocomplete",{max:5,minChars:3});
