Ajax support

Can i load the haystack by ajax and use the server to pass suggestions on every keystroke?

I'm afraid not. The README comments on this, but the reason for not implementing this so far is the fear, that an AJAX request would simply often be too slow. Since the results are displayed inline, this might cause some problems.

You never know — I might give it a try sometime soon, though, anyways. Let's see.

Yep they might be slow. ANyway the server can respond witch cached results for speed.

I will be happy to see it someday. maybe i can sit to try to make it

How can i access the suggestions array? https://github.com/ooyes/suggest/blob/master/src/jquery.suggest.js

Also is there a way to make the array global?

so i will make seperate funtion to refresh it on keyup

     var suggestions = []; must be inside the settings array

var settings = $.extend({
      suggestions :[]

    }, options);

If you want to give it a try, please be my guest. A feature branch in case of a pull request would be highly appreciated, though.

You currently set the suggestions array via the source parameter. That's a convenience solution and there no difference between setting it via the settings option or as it's currently implemented.

You gave me an idea, however: I'm considering to enable the passing of a function as alternative to the array. Like this you could manipulate the suggestions after initialization. Just wondering if this maybe really is the functionality of a "different plugin".
