Jittery home page on dev due to scroll bar being added when auto-complete box appears

So now that we're getting rid of the superfluous content at the bottom of the page, when the autocomplete box opens, it increases the overall length of the page, resulting in a scroll bar on the right side of the page. This looks very jittery and strange. One temporary solution I found is to change the max values in Matt's autocomplete script to 2, so that a total of 3 courses, professors, and departments will show up (for a total of 9).

Might there be a way to split it so they share a total pool of nine or ten split any which way? That is to say after a person continues typing it becomes clear that no professors or departments will match, so you now might see 9 courses?

Yeah that's something I thought about implementing when I first wrote it but I never got around to it. I've been making a good amount of changes to the auto-complete I'll try to fix that soon.

Ok no worries. Are you ok with leaving the max at 3 then for the next push?
