Hi @Blindmikey

Something to keep in mind, that we're aware of and are still trying to resolve, is that our implementation of Autocomplete is still on version 0.38.x. So it's possible that the autocomplete templates that we ship with need some overhaul for this onStateChange functionality to be available.

The good news is that our templates are basically just files that we store all the javascript on, and can be completely overwritten, but I also know and admit is extra work on the plugin user's side. I also know that I've done my own override from our plugin for a client and got them updated to Autocomplete 1.x in the process.

In case curious, one big hurdle is that with version 0.38.x we were able to specify a selector for what to attach the Autocomplete UI to out of box, like common pattern WordPress search forms. With version 1.x, they moved to looking for something like <div id="autocomplete"></div> for their DOM selecting, and that's much less easy to consistently find, if find at all, for out-of-box Autocomplete integration.

That said, leaving this issue open to keep it in mind for hopefully when we get to the point of getting our plugin Autocomplete integration updated.

We're looking to 2.11.x at the moment for potential Autocomplete updates, so moving this with that.
