There are a few different autocomplete plugins out there. I'll assume you are using the one found at http://bassistance.de/jquery-plugins/jquery-plugin-autocomplete/ (which is the one documented at docs.jquery.com) The author, Jorn Zaefferer, is on this list often....
I've seen oddities like this with the plugin, but it pretty much always was a problem in how I was implementing the plugin. Or a potential problem with my server side code or local network. But I tend to do more than the absolute basics too, so I always assume it's my fault first.. :)
Short of seeing some sample code, I'm not sure how much more I can help out... But hope that points you towards the solution somewhat.

Greetings, I'm currently using this awesome plugin for my web app but I'm having a bit of an annoying bug with it. It sometimes does not pull up any results when typing in. Like if I have something in the database with the name "March" and I type in "mar" it shows the little loading.gif but then disappears and doesn't give me any results. If I tab away and come back to it and try it again, then it will work. And even that doesn't make it work. Sometimes I have to totally refresh the page. I thought it might be the cache mechanism so I turned that off setting "cacheLength" to "1". Any other ideas as to why it sometimes works and sometimes doesn't?
