jquery autocomplete

Question

Does anyone know if theres a jquery autocomplete library that works similar to the one here: http://www.thetrainline.com

(try and select a station to see what i mean) The one on here is a prototype library. Basically all the ones ive found will only match characters if they appear at the beginning of a string, for example, if i typed 'ear' it would not match the word 'hear'. However this one seems to do that.

If anyone has any ideas id be very grateful.

You can use the jQuery Autocomplete plugin, which gives you the option of preloading all the possible data or using a server-side backend for finding matching results.

Use the matchContains option to match results that contain, rather than just begin with, the search string.
