title: How do you use autocomplete for thousands of entries?
body: <p>Is there a way to setup autocomplete in PHP/jQuery that can quickly run through thousands of rows in a database?</p>
  
  <p>I have a job board where the user enters his/her college - and I want to offer autocomplete.  Problem is, there are 4,500 colleges in the united states and a  seems like an awful solution.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a good way to both make the query fast, and return results only when there are less than 10 options available?</p>
  
  <p>Thank you in advance,
  Walker</p>
