title: Turn off typeahead autocomplete temporarily
body: <p>I am using <a href="https://github.com/twitter/typeahead.js/blob/master/doc/bloodhound.md" rel="nofollow">bloodhound</a> to suggest products from a list. Once selected, input fields will automatically be filled in for the user. </p>
  
  <p>When a user has selected a product, the autocomplete suggestions must be disabled temporarily - <em>but the input must still be changeable</em>. If a user presses a button to deselect the product, all input fields will be cleared and the suggestion engine must be enabled again.</p>
  
  <p>I am trying to create two functions: <code>enableSuggestions()</code> and <code>disableSuggestions()</code>. Is there any way to achieve this? </p>
