ui.autocomplete unaccommodated a clear method expressly.

[Chiether]

I want to be accommodated and need provide clear method.

_searchTimeout says only search if the value has changed in comment.

but remain in this.term when change with script, or without key-down.

yes, we can clear that use this code.

$("#autocomplete").val("");
$("#autocomplete").autocomplete("search", "");

but search methods be hardly a satisfactory settlement. Because it won't search and wasteful load and response.

I preferred this one.

$("#autocomplete").autocomplete("clear");

Duplicate of #7434.

Replying to scott.gonzalez:

Scott, thanks find kinda looks a like ticket. But I can't go along with #7434.

7434 says 'Selected Text Trigger Usability' and 'trigger _search when get focus back.' but this is 'Implement clear method', NOT TRIGGER.

By the way... I try patched 7434 but its unresolved.

1. focus-in -> show all
2. input text-box a letter 'a' -> show filtered
3. focus-out and press clear button -> clear text-box
4. focus-in -> show all
5. input text-box a letter 'a' -> show all (NOT FILTERED!)

Okay, I try coding and make pull request(but maybe it a little later, because busy work).

and, This is positive continue and change to #7434 ?

You don't actually care about a clear method. You care that the autocomplete searches when it should. If you insist these are separate issues, I can reclose as won't fix, because we won't add a clear method.

I don't feel a need reopen and see what make no case for redundantly searches, considering its a low frequency of operation.

Scott, thanks your replying. *waves*
