As in the docs, you should provide the URL to a script which will return an unordered list of possible matches to the query. Your script will need to read in a POST of the same name as your autocompleted form field, so if you named the field 'lookup' in your code, your script will look for a POST called lookup, take its value, and perform a database query. I usually use something like this:
SELECT id, fieldname FROM tablename WHERE fieldname LIKE "%heavily_filtered_version_of_lookup%" ORDER BY fieldname ASC LIMIT 0,20 The return from your script must be a simple, undecorated UL, nothing more or less, unless you use some of the more advanced configuration options.
