I ran into this problem a few times,and I have seen others asking the
same question, if you use text_field_with_auto_complete and the
selection list returns non-unique results, how do you reference the
actual record in the database you want?
For instance if you have text_field_with_auto_complete :customer, :name
then in your controller: name= params[:customer][:name] and
Customer.find_all_by_name(name) returns more than one entry you need
to be a little more tricky to retrieve the actual record you wanted to
select.

I ran into a problem using text_field_with_auto_complete in a view
where I wanted to have many of them created by an iteration. You can
use the :index option for the text_field, but it doesn't carry over to
the various divs used in the AJAX calls.
<typo:code lang="ruby">
<% 0.upto(10) do |legi| %>
<% @leg= @mission.legs.find(:first, :conditions => ['legnum = ?', legi]) %>
text_field_with_auto_complete( :leg, :name, {:index => legi, :size => 20})
<% end %>
<% end %>
</typo:code>
