$("#search-txt").autocomplete({
source: function (req, responseFn) {
$.ajax({
url: "/search.json",
dataType: "json",
success: function(data) {
var re = $.ui.autocomplete.escapeRegex(req.term);
var matcher = new RegExp( "^" + re, "i" );
var a = $.grep( data, function(item,index){
return matcher.test(item.value);
});
responseFn( a );
},
error: function (error) {

});
}
}).data('ui-autocomplete')._renderItem = function( ul, item) {
var re = new RegExp("^" + this.term, "i") ;
var t = item.value.replace(re,"<span style='font-weight:600;'>" + this.term + "</span>");
return $( "<li></li>" )
.data( "item.autocomplete", item )
.append( "<a>" + t + "</a>" )
.appendTo( ul );
