How can I trigger the "autocomplete" event in the jQuery Autocomplete plugin?

I'm trying to trigger the jQuery Autocomplete event externally. The problem is I'm using 

/*
 * Autocomplete - jQuery plugin 1.0.2
 *
 * Copyright (c) 2007 Dylan Verheul, Dan G. Switzer, Anjesh Tuladhar, Jörn Zaefferer
 *
 * Dual licensed under the MIT and GPL licenses:

 *
 * Revision: $Id: jquery.autocomplete.js 5747 2008-06-25 18:30:55Z joern.zaefferer $
 *
 */

If I upgrade, I need to find something that's a DIRECT drop in because it's old legacy code. Any suggestions?

I would suggest you look at the source code. There's a function called: onChange that you want to call like onChange(0,true) to trigger the autocomplete. I don't think it's accessible from outside the script code though, so you can either expose the function globally or you can edit the autocomplete code to listen for a paste event on the input and onChange(0,true).
