When you ask about      Blockquote      But what now  How do I display my data    Blockquote   you need to map an array of object  that way   response   label   result name   value   result id         That way when you use the select event of the autocomplete plugin  you can see the result bellow     You can use the select event that way   jQuery   field   autocomplete         source  function  request  response                    minLength  3        select  function event  ui                  console log ui                   I hope that it can help and complement the answers

Try this code  You can use   get instead of   ajax      input suggest-user    autocomplete       source  function  request  response               ajax               dataType   json               type    Get               url   yourURL               success  function data                       input suggest-user   removeClass  ui-autocomplete-loading                         hide loading image                  response    map  data  function item                           your operation on data                                                 error  function data                       input suggest-user   removeClass  ui-autocomplete-loading                                           minLength  3      open  function           close  function           focus  function event ui          select  function event  ui

Inside your AJAX callback you need to call the response function  passing the array that contains items to display   jQuery  input suggest-user   autocomplete       source  function  request  response            jQuery get  usernames action                 query  request term            function  data                   assuming data is a JavaScript array such as                  one abc de    onf abc de   ong abc de                  and not a string             response data                          minLength  3       If the response JSON does not match the formats accepted by jQuery UI autocomplete then you must transform the result inside the AJAX callback before passing it to the response callback  See this question and the accepted answer
