title: Autocomplete on a LDAP Search form
body: <p>I'd like to know whether it's possible to implement <strong>autocompletion</strong> on a search form which is <strong>querying a LDAP directory.</strong></p>
  
  <p>I'm creating a small widget that allows users to look for people in the LDAP directory and then display information such as phone number etc.</p>
  
  <p>There's a lot of people in the directory, so it would be nice to help users by auto-completing the form according to what they wrote so far.</p>
  
  <p>It's actually pretty much <a href="http://jqueryui.com/demos/autocomplete/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">what jQuery UI does with Autocomplete</a></p>
  
  <p>Do I have to request directly the LDAP directory every time the user hits a key? 
  Or maybe should I cache (locally or on the server)?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for your help</p>
