How can I change the logic and formatting of autocomplete results?

Out of the box, SolrPlugin provides an autocomplete search box that shows the number of hits for each search term. As such it helps to select the most relevant search terms.

I would like to use this search box on other pages, and to show the most relevant hits, including the topic title and the summary. How would I get to that?

There is a jquery.autosuggest jquery module part of SolrPlugin that is derived from ui.autocomplete. It lets you specify jsrender templates to be used in the drop down box.
