Example yui3 autocomplete using yql
<input type="text" name="q" id="q" />
<script type="text/javascript">
YUI().use("autocomplete", "autocomplete-highlighters", "datasource-get", function (Y) {
var acDS = new Y.DataSource.Get({
source: "http://sugg.search.yahoo.com/gossip-us-fp/?nresults=10&queryfirst=2&output=json&version=&command=",
});
Y.one('#q').plug(Y.Plugin.AutoComplete, {

Fair enough. I'm actually putting the query client side in the browser, so if anyone complains I'll just pull it down quickly. It's so raw right now I only have 1 person who uses it beside me. I was thinking I'd just skip YQL altogether and do a datasource direct to sugg.search.

If you get a sec, can you take a look at the new version of this gist and tell me why it's not working? Based off of everything I've read it should work, but it's not creating the list at all.

DataSource.Get requires a response wrapped in a JSONP callback. The sugg.search API doesn't let you specify a custom JSONP callback, so this can't work. You'll have to go through YQL to get past the same domain restriction.
