autocomplete>option>source>string entry confusion

[timbotron]

Currently:

The Autocomplete plugin does not filter the results, instead the request parameter term gets added to the URL, which the server-side script should use for filtering the results.

I was expecting this behavior:

source: "http://myurl.com/json/";

After term is added:

source: "http://myurl.com/json/term";

But what actually happens is:

source: "http://myurl.com/json/?term=term";

There wasn't any indication it would definitely be adding it in the URI as a PHP GET request. I use clean URI's and initially it seemed to work perfectly for that. Had to troubleshoot, and didn't realize this was the problem for a little while.

Maybe change it to:

The Autocomplete plugin does not filter the results, instead the request parameter term gets added to the URL (as '?term=term'), which the server-side script should use for filtering the results.

Thanks!

I think the right improvement to make based on this feedback is to explain the default, and explain how to use the source: function(req, res) signature to use a different URL scheme besides simple querystring parameters
