* `appendTo`: container where suggestions will be appended. Default value `body`. Can be jQuery object, selector or html element. Make sure to set `position: absolute` or `position: relative` for that element.
* `dataType`: type of data returned from server. Either 'text' (default) or 'jsonp', which will cause the autocomplete to use jsonp. You may return a json object in your callback when using jsonp.
Autocomplete instance has following methods:
* `setOptions(options)`: you may update any option at any time. Options are listed above.
* `clear`: clears suggestion cache and current suggestions suggestions.
* `clearCache`: clears suggestion cache.
* `disable`: deactivate autocomplete.
* `enable`: activates autocomplete if it was deactivated before.
* `hide`: hides suggestions.
* `dispose`: destroys autocomplete instance. All events are detached and suggestion containers removed.
There are two ways that you can invoke Autocomplete method. One is calling autocomplete on jQuery object and passing method name as string literal.
If method has arguments, arguments are passed as consecutive parameters:
$('#autocomplete').autocomplete('disable');
$('#autocomplete').autocomplete('setOptions', options);
Or you can get Autocomplete instance by calling autcomplete on jQuery object without any parameters and then invoke desired method.
$('#autocomplete').autocomplete().disable();
$('#autocomplete').autocomplete().setOptions(options);
