during tracking another problem in Vector/modules/ext.vector.simpleSearch.js , I found that jQuery.suggestions.js should be improved.

It currently does not send ajax requests if the current input equals the previous one (this is perfect).
 if ( context.data.$textbox.val() !== context.data.prevText )

But it should skip (i.e. not send) requests, if the input is empty:
 context.data.$textbox.val().length == 0

Regards at least "fetch" and "update" in this module.
