Description

Autocomplete should be configurable to not send the whole current input field value but only of the last typed word (the one where the caret appears). When a suggestion is selected, only that word should get replaced.

Autocomplete doesn't support multiple word support. There's a demo for how you can do this.

The autocomplete is designed to be extensible (see http://blog.jqueryui.com/2010/08/extensible-autocomplete/) and we can't keep it that way if we just add more and more options. Its already easy enough to get multiple support, see http://jqueryui.com/demos/autocomplete/#multiple
