Because the API doesn't use XMLHttpRequest, there's no real stop method. Generally, when doing an "as-you-type" sort of thing, I would recommend setting up a very slight (e.g., 250ms) timeout before actually running the search. That way you can clear the timeout if another key is pressed. If there are no other keys pressed, such a delay is generally not noticeable.
