Autocomplete optimization

Autocomplete optimization

I am using the conventional jQuery autocomplete.I am using it with mysql and jsp.The combo works fine except that the autocomplete does the job a little differently.When the user starts typing "Ti" the records showing up are tiger,tigress and so on.I want the autocomplete to show records like "White Tiger","Himalayan Yeti" as well as both those records have "ti" in it.Is there a way in which i can customize this? The records are retrieved from a mysql database(Just for information). Thanks, in advance.
