Limit the result in jQuery Autocomplete

Question

How can you set a limit on the result from the jQuery autocomplete?

This is my code:

        $.ajax({
            url: \"/cache/search/SearchModels.x

You could add a handler for the "open" event:

    open:function(event,ui){ 
    var maxListLength=10;
    var ul = jQuery( "#txtTopSearch" ).autocomplete("widget")[0];
    while(ul.childNodes.length > maxListLength)
          ul.removeChild(ul.childNodes[ul.childNodes.length-1]);
    }
