Aloha, I'm a noob to javascript. I was wondering where in this example case 'account': callback([ { value: '1-amanda', label: 'Amanda' }, { value: '2-aron', label: 'Aron' }, { value: '3-eric', label: 'Eric' }, { value: '4-jeremy', label: 'Jeremy' }, { value: '5-samuel', label: 'Samuel' }, { value: '6-scott', label: 'Scott' } ]); break;

the user types 1,2,3,4 etc. but to return the value in the text box as Amanda not 1-amanda.

in the search_facet.js is where the value is set.. where is the value used to pull back the autocomplete. Thanks

The idea is that the search box matches perfectly what's being sent. I suppose this could change, but it's non-trivial and quite a departure from knowing that the query you see is the query that gets sent.
