In the older examples of the AutoComplete filter, as soon as you typed in a letter the filtering was applied reducing the numbers of rows shown. For example, if I typed the letter "x", only rows with that column containing the letter "x" would be displayed.
{ column_number : 1, filter_type: "auto_complete" },
In the newer examples, the AutoComplete filter does not do this. I want the original functionality for my web page - how do I achieve this? Is there an option I need to pass to the AutoComplete plugin via the filter_plugin_options parameter? Or is there a different filter I should be using?
I can't recall that aytocomplete ever worked this way, you need to use the filter_type: 'text' instead, see the fourth column in the following showcase page
IMO triggering the filter on each keyboard type fits better the text filter rather then autocomplete
