JQuery UI Autocomplete - how do I get a user entered value

Question

Disclaimer: I reviewed related issues and could not find a solution to this particular problem.

The scenario is this:

Depending on whether the user selected the offer from the drop-down list or not matches, I want to perform various jQuery ajax actions. How should I do it? The place where I'm stuck is how to grab the input that is now in the autocomplete input text box?

thank

Honestly, I'm not sure. If you look at the documentation, the search should work.

, , , ; selectbox-like, . , . minLength: 0 .

$( ".selector" ).autocomplete({
   search: function(event, ui) {
     $.ajax{
       //Your ajax parameters...

       success: function(data) { //No idea what format your data is in...
         if(data['status'] == false) { //there is no result
           //return your data.
           //Trigger the events you want if the item does no exist.
         }
         else if(data['status'] == true){
            //return data normally.
         }
       }

     }
   }
});

        minLength: 2,
        select: function(event, ui) {

        }
    });
