I'm trying to use Autocomplete in some web software, but 'q' is already used to determine where the software is in execution.

Since I'm using the software itself (well, a custom plugin,) to handle the request since the data I need is in the software's database to begin with, sending it partial words where it expects well-formed locations is somewhat of a problem.

I was able to change the parameter to 'query' by editing autocomplete's JS, and it worked flawlessly, but it'd be better if this could be done elsewhere.
