    <p>I'm setting up jQuery UI autocomplete on a CakePHP site, and feel like I'm missing something really obvious, but it's almost working...</p> <p>So the simple jQuery code is:</p> <pre><code>$(function() { $("#SearchQuery").autocomplete({ source: "&lt;?= $session-&gt;base ?&gt;/search/complete", minLength: 2 }); }); </code></pre> <p>This connects to my search controller, and the search controller returns items from the database. I can get the results back if I don't try to actually look at the "term" (what has been typed. So, in my controller this works:</p> <pre><code>function complete(){ $entries = $this-&gt;Entry-&gt;find('list'); $this-&gt;set('entries', $entries); } </code></pre> <p>It is returned as JSON, and drops down from the input like it should. But it never narrows the results based on what has been typed. I would think that this should narrow the results:</p> <pre><code>function complete($query = null){ $entries = $this-&gt;Entry-&gt;find('list', array('conditions' =&gt; array('title LIKE' =&gt; '%'.$query.'%'))); $this-&gt;set('entries', $entries); } </code></pre> <p>But with this code nothing is ever returned. What am I doing wrong?</p> <p><strong>P.S.</strong> People who find this question and are having trouble getting the results back to the autocomplete function, be sure you're returning properly formatted JSON results: <a href="http://www.pagebakers.nl/2007/06/05/using-json-in-cakephp-12/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.pagebakers.nl/2007/06/05/using-json-in-cakephp-12/</a></p>
