Turn Autocomplete into Autosuggest?

[frogontop]

Is there a way to turn the auto complete component into auto suggest? t would be nice to have an option when creating it to turn it into an auto suggest so that accepts entries that aren’t a part of the query. I know this isn’t possible currently, but is there a way to allow it to accept other entries if needed? Some back door work around?

Thanks In advance!
