Ok. I’ve solved my problem. But seems like there is a bug in CAutoComplete formatItem or I’m doing something wrong.

In the documentation for formatItem property it says:

The last parameter "search term" returns exactly the same as the first one "the results row".

Here is the code:




      <?php

			$this->widget('CAutoComplete',

				array(

				 'name'=>'cn',

				 'url'=>array('search/suggestcharacter'), 

				 'minChars'=>1,

				 'delay'=>1500,

				 'matchCase'=>false,

				 'htmlOptions'=>array('size'=>'28','class'=>'search-field'),

				 'cssFile'=>false,

				 'width'=>'310px',

				 'scroll'=>false,

				 'formatItem'=>"function(result, i, num, term) { return result + '(' + term + ')'; }",

				 ));

			?>

In the code above result is the same as term. So in my sample search for "New" the results look like:




New Jersey (New Jersey)

New York (New York)

etc.

instead of




New Jersey (New)

New York (New)

etc.

Am I doing something wrong or it’s a bug?

P.S. I don’t really need it for my project, just asking out of curiosity.
