Hi Robert,
I dug around the autocomplete plugin for a few seconds (it's one I have
experience with) and found that you're doing exactly the right thing by
setting the matchContains option to true (although it is set to true by
default). In fact, the problem isn't with the autocomplete plugin at all!
It's actually you're Cold Fusion script. If you visit this link:

<http://library.umassmed.edu/%7Ervanderh/newsite3/ej_jquery.cfm?q=applied>
Which is the server-side script returning results to the autocomplete
plugin, using the example term you were having trouble with, you'll
notice that it is only returning results with "Applied" at the
beginning. If you can fix up the CF script so it returns all the results
you're looking for, the autocomplete plugin should work just fine.
All the best,
Brian Egan
