Make sure your json matches the format required for this to work. You can check the jsfiddle for a working example. As far as a limit, there is no functionality for that, but this might help: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7617373/limit-results-in-jquery-ui-autocomplete

Hey
The link worked for me.. I also figured out that i had to convert the string into a json object using JSON.parse(string) to make the variable work.
Can you also tell me how i can change the thing we search for? i.e. this current searches the label data, can i change it to something else

Why change it to something else?

actually i had implemented the whole autocomplete and used the label as something. i had changed a lot of code. now i want to add another searching factor which i will concat with some other value in the json.

You would have to modify the code to support multiple triggers.
