title: Jquery autocomplete select identical menu item when only typing
body: <p>I have a working autocomplete function on a textbox in my application. If a suggestion is selected the application will post the form to a different page (product category). The user can also type something that is not in the autocomplete suggestions and press enter. In this case the application will perform some textsearch. However...</p>
  
  <p>If the user typed something that exactly matches an autocomplete suggestion and presses enter I still want the application to go to the appropriate url. How can I access the autocomplete suggestions and search for an exact match? I have searched the DOM for an hour (<code>$(".searchTextBox").autocomplete("instance")</code>) but could not find anything resembling the 'suggestion set'. </p>
