title: jQuery autocomplete timeout
body: <p>For some reason the ajax requests I make on the website I'm working on abort half of the time. This is resolved when I set a timeout for the ajax request like shown below.</p>
  
  <pre><code>$.ajax({
      url: "/question/why_wont_it_work",
      timeout : 1000,
      success: function(){ /*do stuff*/ }
  });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Sadly the timeout fix doesn't seem to work with the jquery autocomplete. I'm using it like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$( "#questionTags" ).autocomplete({
      source: "/question/tags",
      timeout: 1000,
      select: function(event, ui) { /*do stuff*/ },
  });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I checked the jQueryUI documentation on the website and didn't see the timeout option there either. Now this is pretty annoying since half of the time my request will abort and I won't get the results 
  I want. Is there a way around this? </p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance.</p>
