I am looking into jquery autocomplete plugin into my web application project.
Basically, I need create a product search form that allow the user to quick search a product by entering the name of the product OR the sku of the product. So, first the user need to select the search type option either by Name or by SKU and entering the search criteria on the autocomplete text box. When the name / sku is found in the database, a collection of the matching product will be populated with the name and sku to be shown on the selection box.
FrontEnd: JSP form
BackEnd: Java
Can anyone tell me which jquery autocomplete plugin is best to apply in the context.
Thanks.

The problem with this question is that there is no "best" one. tocomplete and it did nicely for me. workshop/j query/auto complete.h tm is the first one with some modifications. Never really used it because the first was more that enough but looks like it might be a bit better in such cases.
ry-plugins /jquery-pl ugin- autoc omplete/ but not sure if it's any better than the one I used.
It depends on what you want to achieve, what technologies you want to use for the connections, what browsers you want to support and so on...
I had used http://dyve.net/jquery/?au
This one http://www.pengoworks.com/
And I had heard some not so bad things about http://bassistance.de/jque
You just need to try and evaluate them I am afraid...
