How to make 'Jquery autocomplete' to work in cross domain

Question

i am using the jquery auto complete script like this

$("#ac1").autocomplete('search.php');

And it is working (ie i keep the 'search.php' in local machine)

But when i place 'search.php' file in another server (say test.com).

and change the script as

$("#ac1").autocomplete('http://www.test.com/search.php');

it is not working

Can any one help me to get it work

That's the same origin policy intervening. You can't make cross-domain Ajax calls. — JJJ, Aug 19 '11 at 19:57
@Juhana: ....unless you use a server-side proxy or wrap the data in a function call (JSON-P) — Jens Roland, Aug 19 '11 at 20:00

The short answer is you should use JSON-P. The slightly longer answer is here: jQuery autocomplete - xml cross site request
