Description

Hi,

I want to use data sources for search as you type functionality.

I already implemented this in my own way with jquery abort() by canceling promise if another one get fired.

How can I do the same with alt data sources ?

Thanks !

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by reviewing Alt's data-source API and the existing jQuery abort() approach, then clarify how cancellation should behave when a new search fires and whether the requested behavior is supported.
