I'd like to be able to style the matching text from autocomplete, so I'd like the option for kendo to perhaps wrap the text in a span or something I can get a handle on... So if I typed "Back" it'll give me results like this <li><span class='t-match'>Back</span> to the future</li>
I suggest using the <mark> tag. A better title for the feature would be highlighting support for Autocomplete.
