In 'soft' mode

* There's no notification when the user enters free-text. How about
triggering 'fb-select' with data=null ?

(I need notification so I can wipe any previously selected Freebase topic)

* And if you type a string that's not in freebase you still get the message:
"No suggested matches. Tips on getting better suggestions [snip]"

Since the developer is allowing free-text, perhaps the default message
should just be "No suggested matches. Press enter to use this text".

There is an "fb-textchange" event that is triggered on textchange.

You should be able to set a "nomatch" option (html).

So as a recap:

$("#myinput").suggest({
nomatch: "No suggested matches. Tips on getting better suggestions [snip]"
}).bind("fb-textchange", function(e) {
// do something on textchange
});

Thanks! nomatch and fb-textchange solve my problem.

But I found another bug. Typing 'sdfsdfdsfddf' and then pressing enter does
not dismiss
the suggest dropdown.
