Autocomplete should allow for the source to already have parameters

[grahamegrieve]

Concerning the Autocomplete widget source property, the documentation says:

a query string is added with a term field, which the server-side script should use for filtering the results. For example, if the source option is set to "https://example.com" and the user types foo, a GET request would be made to https://example.com?term=foo.

if the source already has parameters e.g.

 source: "http://tx.fhir.org/r4/ValueSet/$expand&url=https%3A%2F%2Fsiteproxy.ruqli.workers.dev%3A443%2Fhttp%2Fterminology.hl7.org%2FValueSet%2Fv2-0006&_format=jquery",

The string appended is still ?term={x}. If there is already a ? in the source URL, &term={x} should be appended

Thanks for the report. Does the issue you describe exist when jQuery UI 1.12.1 is used or only with jQuery UI 1.13.0 or newer?

Also, please provide a runnable test case on a platform like JS Bin.
