[typeahead.js][gh-page]
=======================
Inspired by [twitter.com]'s autocomplete search functionality, typeahead.js is
a flexible JavaScript library that provides a strong foundation for building
robust typeaheads.
The typeahead.js library consists of 2 components: the suggestion engine,
[Bloodhound], and the UI view, [Typeahead].
The suggestion engine is responsible for computing suggestions for a given
query. The UI view is responsible for rendering suggestions and handling DOM
interactions. Both components can be used separately, but when used together,
they can provide a rich typeahead experience.
