Sadly, I don't have anything useful to add about autocomplete libraries, but you've sent me down an interesting rabbit hole about jQuery UI!
I won't bore you with my journey, but after reading through a few big conversations I wound up at the jQuery UI Github and I was surprised that there's been a lot of activity: https://github.com/jquery/jquery-ui/commits/main. There's even a new alpha release: https://github.com/jquery/jquery-ui/releases. Everything was done by Michał Gołębiowski-Owczarek and looking into him led me to this really interesting write up: https://github.com/readme/stories/michal-golebiowski-owczarek Probably still a good idea to move away from jquery-ui as it probably is dead, but interesting to see him breathing some life into the project after 5 years of dormancy. I'm tempted to shoot him a Twitter DM to see what his plans are.

I've been looking at this as a replacement for jQueryUI's autocomplete: https://tarekraafat.github.io/autoComplete.js/ It's small, seems fast, and has been around for several years, with its last release happening last month. I'm still testing whether it's missing any functionality we need, but I thought before I get too far I would ask: Does anyone have any experience with this project? Does anyone have any other autocomplete libraries they've used and would recommend?
