When you have a remote datasource and min character limit, typing a few letters, deleting them, then typing the same ones gives no results. You can see this on the example: http://jqueryui.com/demos/autocomplete/#remote - try typing 'pi' (get results), delete it and type it again (no results).
Can anyone fix it or work out how to log this bug without becoming a member of the jQuery development team?
You can log the bug youself at: jQuery UI BugTracker. You need to register. You do not need to become a member of the jQuery development team.
Any ideas on how to fix this? I'm having the same problem, but it's any number of characters. And it can be repro'd on Ian's link: http://jqueryui.com/demos/autocomplete/#remote. Type in 3 characters, like pit, and erase and retype them.
I found the bug logged at http://forum.jquery.com/topic/autocomplete-repeat-searches-no-results, but I haven't found a solution, and I don't know jquery enough to figure it out.
Any ideas on a workaround?
