jQuery UI - Autocomplete in MVC
jquery-ui-autocomplete-01

TL;DR
Implementing autocomplete using jQuery UI in an MVC application requires coordinating the front-end form, a server-side action method, and the associated JavaScript.
- The MVC Controller must expose a JSON action method that accepts a search term and returns filtered results.
- The core JavaScript must utilize the jQuery UI autocomplete function to trigger an AJAX request upon user input.
- The AJAX request calls the server-side method, passing the user's search term and receiving the filtered results list to populate the dropdown.
