Topic: Autocomplete doesn't always work when returning to a cached page.
Expected behavior Standard autocomplete behaviour - using Ajax
Actual behavior Doesn't always seem to work. Sometimes when I return to the page, when I click the field and start to type, no results are found - nothing at all. There is no JS error, and no search function takes place.
Resources (screenshots, code snippets etc.) I can't replicate it on a simple example. I suspect it is something to do with caching properties on the server.
Hello, problem may be the Ajax call you make. If there was a call, which received no data, but was successful, then no error will be thrown by default. See the snippet with the broken link: https://mdbootstrap.com/snippets/standard/m-duszak/3810242#js-tab-view
In this case I am getting an empty list, but the HTTP Status is 200 - so no errors will be thrown. See the outcome of a broken link - https://swapi.py4e.com/api/people/?search=broken
Please make sure your API works right.

The response is correct, and the response is very quick - but once in a while (afger refreshing the page, or coming back to the page from another page) it just doesn't do anything - eg, no ajax response is made (I checked using console logs). It just acts as though it is a normal textfield.

I was unable to reproduce this issue. It would be perfect if you would be able to share the demo.
