I’m trying to implement Autocomplete on my site and allow customers to  
search for restaurants by name or city all from one search box.

I can’t seem how to get one edit field to interact with Autocomplete  
from multiple controllers. I can add the appropriate code into the  
controllers to allow access on the page, but how would I modify:

\<% text\_field\_with\_auto\_complete :restaurant, :name, {}, {method =\>  
:get} %\>

To allow it to also pull from :city, :name to display mixed results in  
the list for the customer to select?

Thanks in advance.
