Sad has always worked well. But now very poorly maintained. In new themes, it is
useless.

Wow, that was a lot easier to set up than I expected. Works really well! Not sure
if this causes a big website performance hit, I hope not. 5/5

Gabe, Thanks much for this wonderfully stable plugin. I worked off the bat and I
have been happy for a while. I have given it well deserved 5 stars. If you are looking
for a cleanly coded, stable, and simple auto complete plugin, you should look no
further! Thanks Gabe!
