Duplicates when using remote and prefetch

[jisotalo]

Hello

I am using prefetch to obtain most used data. When writing something more results are queried from server with remote option.

If prefetch data contains same items as the remote data, both of them are shown in the list (so they are duplicates).

I tried to Google it but only result is that "dupDetector" should be used like this
dupDetector: function (remoteMatch, localMatch) { return remoteMatch.id === localMatch.id; }

But it seems that there is no dupDetector option available, is that correct? How should I do this?

Okay, now I noticed that by using "identify" I am able to filter duplicates out by having data id in my json.
identify: function(obj) { return obj.id; },

I suggest that the documentation should contain more information about these.

I believe the identify function won't work if you have multiple datasets, and two different datasets have a suggestion that share the same id.

There should be a way to avoid duplicates across datasets.

I had the same issue and the identify function solved it for me. Just saying thanks
