Javascript Autocomplete by Tom Petrus and VC

Question

Hi
I am using the following on my interactive report to provide a google search like autocomplete as the user enters a name, surname, date etc
This works find apart from when searching for a surname such as 'Rees' it does not bring this back but will bring back suggestions like 'Crees'. 'Freestone' etc
Same for forename when searching for 'Ian' it does not bring this back 'Ian' but brings back 'Adrian', 'Brian' etc
This only happens on certain names however searching for 'Paul', 'Steven' 'Brian' works fine
If anyone could shed any light into what's causing this it would be most helpful
function srch2(pItem, pColumn) {  
   $.post('wwv_flow.show',
          {"p_request"          : 'APXWGT',
          "p_widget_action"     : 'FILTER',
          "p_widget_action_mod" : 'ADD',
          "p_widget_mod"        : 'ACTION',
          "p_widget_name"       : 'worksheet',
          "p_flow_id"           : $v('pFlowId'),
          "p_flow_step_id"      : $v('pFlowStepId'),
          "p_instance"          : $v('pInstance'),
          "x01"                 : $v('apexir_WORKSHEET_ID'),
          "x02"                 : $v('apexir_REPORT_ID'),
          "x03"                 : pColumn,
          "f01"                 : ['COLUMN', pColumn, '=', $v(pItem), null, 'minutes']
         function(data){
            //when the filter has been successfully applied the report has to be refreshed
            if(data=="true"){
               gReport.pull();
   //clear the item
   $s(pItem,'');
$(document).ready(function(){
   //hide IR toolbar
   $('#apexir_TOOLBAR').hide();
   $('#P4_AC').bind("result", function(){   
      //on selecting a value then fire the search function
      srch2(this, 'INDSNAME');
   // ac item P4_AC2
   $('#P4_AC2').bind("result", function(){   
      srch2(this, 'INDFNAME');
   // ac item YEARD
   $('#YEARD').bind("result", function(){
      srch2(this, 'NEWYEAR');
// ac item REG
   $('#REG').bind("result", function(){
      srch2(this, 'INDREG');
// ac item ENTNO
   $('#ENTNO').bind("result", function(){
      srch2(this, 'INDENT');

Hi Tom
Could it be that on the interactive report it mentions "This query returns more than 100,000 rows, please filter your data to ensure complete results."
There is no plugin its just using the two pieces of code I mentioned in the threads above
This is the original thread
