Hi I've worked in a plugin using part of the code of autocomplete widget but using jquery autocomplete and contains insted of like when a third parameter (search_field) is used. It works perfectly in GAE. The idea is being able to look in a field of kind list:string to retrieve the id in the associated table. I'd like to clean it up a little bit before publishing it in web2pyslices, but if you're in a hurry I can send the dirty version to you in a private email.
