Hi frisson

The plugin supports a ‘max’ option:

$(‘#country’).autocomplete(‘CountryProxy.cfc?method=search’,{max:20});

This max value is also sent as a ‘limit’ parameter with the ajax request so you can also apply the limit to your server side code.

See more options here:

Hi Kevan,

How can I change the limit to be 20?

cheers,

I think that approach was worth a try.
When I try it, it doesn´t work because the call to the remote service search() was garbage by an extra ‘?’.
component [CountryProxy] has no remote function with name [search?q=q].
Any clue?

Obs!
I check the component and it is working correctly by browsing directly to it.
