So the issue here is that when i type something in the input it looks for it in the local datasource which has not been updated because it is still fetching data from the backend. Now, once i have the source populated my next searches will start looking for items in the existing source instead of waiting for the source to be re-populated.   Is there a way to call the lookup manually after the source have been populated?

<mdb-autocomplete [label]="'Line manager'" name="lineManager"  [(ngModel)]="lineManagerStr" [datasource]="lineManagers"
                  (keyup)="subscribeToProfileSearch()">
</mdb-autocomplete>

    this.appService.getObject('searchProfile/' + this.lineManagerStr).subscribe(data => {
      this.lineManagers = this.completerService.local(data, 'label', 'label');

    });

  Another behavior: it calls the onkeyup callback twice for each keypress. Also i am using the version 6.2.3 but the support dropdown does not have that option.
