autosuggest problems with cf8

Check Livedocs. maxResultsDisplayed, autosuggestBindDelay,
autosuggestMinLength, showAutosuggestLoadingIcon and typeahead
attributes of cfinput tag in cf8.

You may need to also put the style attribute in your cfinput autosuggest form element and set the z-index higher than the surrounding elements.

Example:

<cfinput type="text"
name="partnername"
autosuggest="cfc:get_partnername.lookup({cfautosuggestvalue},{SOURCE})"
size="35"
maxResultsDisplayed = "1000"
autosuggestminlength = "2" align="left"
style="z-index:1000;"
tabindex="0">

<cfinput type="button" name="Submit" value="Go!"
onClick="javascript:ColdFusion.navigate('get_tabdata.cfm?select=org','orgsection',orgcallBack,myerrorhandler,'POST','form1');
javascript:ColdFusion.navigate('get_tabdata.cfm?select=sales','salessection',salescallBack,myerrorhandler,'POST','form1');
javascript:ColdFusion.navigate('get_tabdata.cfm?select=opps','oppssection',oppscallBack,myerrorhandler,'POST','form1');
javascript:ColdFusion.navigate('get_controls.cfm','controlsection',controlscallBack,myerrorhandler,'POST','form1');"
tabindex="1" style="position:absolute;left:0px;top:55px;z-index:-1">

Notice the z-index of the autosuggest element is 1000, and the item immediately below has a z-index of -1. In IE, this puts the autosuggest drop down on top.
