Description
When auto completing against even moderately sized databases, multiple results of common names will appear and be difficult or impossible to discern.
One solution to this problem would be to use the display_name field from CiviCRM, which includes suffixes, prefixes and middle names.

Note that the jQuery search seems to already use display_name, while the dojo search (for civinode CCK fields) uses sort_name.
