Is there a limit on the number of items that can be in the array of terms? I’m having a problem using it, since what I actually do is load up a huge list of tags from a mysql table, and there’s 720 of them. Also, how can I alter the placement of the suggestion div? I use a lot of divs in my site.
Thank you so much! Other than those two things, it works great!
