I've been working with pending Autocomplete widget (taken from the
branch). It's working very well so far!
My question is about the likelihood of adding support for a new feature:
A callback when a search is conducted and no result is found.
My use case is a museum collections management system that is using
the autocomplete to search for names in a list of Name Authorities. We
want users with appropriate permissions to be able to add *new* names
to the list by typing them into the autocomplete field. This is
difficult because as it stands, the widget doesn't provide any
notification that the search was completed but nothing was found.
I've experimented such a callback, invoking it in the 'else' clause of
receiveData() and passing the callback the query term, and it works
well for my use case.
Does this sound like something that might add value to the component?
