how to handle large data set

[DeanHe]

Hi, I have a large data set loaded to combobox, around 6K items, it shows up OK.

But when I start to type with autocomplete on, the browser freezes as jquery script runs too long. It seems too many DOM manipulation happened.

Is there any suggestion or idea how to handle this? Thank you

I have actually managed to extend the existing search code to comply with larger datasets - tested with about 2k items. Would you be interested? @DeanHe

Thank you, I figured out a workable way by binding ajax call onto typing event in the plugin code, which returns 30 matching entries based on current combobox value. How do you handle it ? @synweap15
