Use the RESTful API!
Document any missing pieces in the RESTful API.
Determine API to set which field or fields will be searched against. Perhaps something like:

    <field_name>_search_fields = ['title', '']

I don't know, but what do you think about the Chosen with an ajax call for retrieving the choices?

I've been using, (but not for large many-to-many results yet), and it work well.

pydanny commented 11 years ago

I think that's a great idea.

IMO it's important to additionally show the search–icon (which opens the pop–up window), because sometimes you might not get results with an autocomplete field.

As always, @sehmaschine is right on the money. :8ball:
