I’m trying to implement an autosuggest similar to the below image in that it has multiple categories (eg Countries, Cities).

My ideal solution would be one autosuggest box that populates its n different categories via n different ajax calls using two different API endpoints.

The only place I’ve seen this done is facebook’s main search box “Search people, places, and things”.

I grabbed the below image from this website – http://www.web2ajax.fr/examples/facebook_searchengine/ – but there’s no documentation for it and before trying to reinvent/reverse engineer the wheel, I figured I would see if anyone knew of an existing plugin for this.

Autosuggest example

Thanks!

    For autocomplete categories, go to http://jqueryui.com/demos/autocomplete/#categories (CLICK ON “VIEW SOURCE” BELOW THE DEMO). Also make sure to use themeroller for custom themes: http://jqueryui.com/themeroller.
