 * Hi,
    I can’t get it to work. I have set the Post Types to be searched within 
   the admin settings page, but the “autocomplete” value is still “off”.
 * Any help would be great!
    Thanks, Wearegrid

 * The autocomplete attribute on the search box is supposed to be set to “off”. 
   This prevents the built-in browser autocomplete from appearing over the top of
   the jQueryUI AutoComplete.
 * Do you have a URL where I can take a look to see what might be preventing it 
   from appearing?

 * The z-index of your header is causing the autocomplete drop down to be hidden
   behind it. Try adding this to your theme’s CSS:
 * `.ui-autocomplete { z-index: 10000; }`
