Incorrect wording on docs?

It is important to keep in mind that the autocomplete field does allow text entry. If a restriction on the values entered is needed, either use select, autocomplete (or similar), or a validator at the server-side.

https://editor.datatables.net/reference/field/autocomplete

Should "autocomplete (or similar)" instead be "datatables (or similar)"? Odd it suggests to use autocomplete instead of autocomplete.

    Good catch - thanks for letting me know about that. I'm just about to commit an update that will say:

    It is important to keep in mind that the autocomplete field does allow free text entry. If a restriction on the values entered is needed, either use select, radio, tags (or similar), or a validator at the server-side.
