Hi all, I'm trying to build an autocompletion thingy that suggests categories based on user input using the opensearch API [1]. It sounds like a relatively simple thing and I was able to hack something that somewhat works in a few minutes...there's just one gotcha: this thing is supposed to suggest nothing but categories, so I don't need nor want the "Category:" label (or its localized equivalent) to show up. I've been able to manipulate the result set so that whenever the user clicks on a suggestion, whatever gets inserted into the <input> is correct...but what is *displayed* to the user still includes the "Category:" part in it. The various ways how I've been able to remove the "Category:" part from the value have been more or less hacky and inefficient.
What am I doing wrong here [2]? How can I totally strip out the "Category:" part and pretend it doesn't exist and never did?
