Jquery-ui Autocomplete and Bootstrap 3 fixed navbar

I am trying to make a autocomplete search using jquery ui and twitter bootstarp. I have added a facny search box to the nav bar and everything seems to be working fine. Please take a look on code snippet below or you can also see the same code here on this JSFiddle, just type 'a' and it will automatically show results in a dropdown list.

Problem is with tablet and mobile version's navbar of bootstrap, for example below code snippet showing tablet version by default, so bootstarp navbar adjust its height, but when I search on tablet or mobile versions, autocomplete results stay behind the navbar which is fixed position. I have tried to fix this issue with z-index and by changing .ui-autocomplete {position:relative;}, but nothing is working for me. below is the image of this issue.

Please take a look on below code snippet, Thanks

$(function () {
        // Remove Search if user Resets Form or hits Escape!
		$('body, .navbar-collapse form[role="search"] button[type="reset"]').on('click keyup', function(event) {
			console.log(event.currentTarget);
			if (event.which == 27 && $('.navbar-collapse form[role="search"]').hasClass('active') ||
				$(event.currentTarget).attr('type') == 'reset') {
				closeSearch();
			}
		});

		function closeSearch() {
            var $form = $('.navbar-collapse form[role="search"].active')
    		$form.find('input').val('');
			$form.removeClass('active');
		}

		// Show Search if form is not active // event.preventDefault() is important, this prevents the form from submitting
		$(document).on('click', '.navbar-collapse form[role="search"]:not(.active) button[type="submit"]', function(event) {
			event.preventDefault();
			var $form = $(this).closest('form'),
				$input = $form.find('input');
			$form.addClass('active');
			$input.focus();

		});
    });
