Question about autoComplete

Question about autoComplete

I am using autoComplete to obtain records from my database. I have implemented its use in about 30+ modules. But I just came across a use that is totally something different.

In one table I have over 30k records of individuals. Separate fields for Last and First names. Initially, I just put the autoComplete on the last name. But then I realized that if I enter 'Smith' I only get the first 15 of the Smiths with no way to see the remaining available.

I suppose what I would need to do is use some sort of CONCAT in the mySQL to combine the two names but I don't really have a clue.

Anyone have a suggestion?

TIA for any assistance
