Yes, this is because you go Event-based, and onchange triggers on blur,
basically.  Try removing Event (Form.Element.Observer), as I mentioned
at the bottom of my solution.  You shouldn't go too far below 1sec of
interval, though.  1 sec is usually enough.

Actually no.  Autocompleter is designed to provide a list of completions
based on the current typing, not detailed info on the current text.
Unless what you intend to return *is* completion options (with or
without details), in which case, you don't need Ajax.Updater at all,
just Ajax.Autocompleter.  However, you must then go with its flow
(return a ul/li structure, possibly use rich li contents with
"informal"-class'd elements, etc.).
