autocomplete working code sample not working...

[aviper4u]

hello,

I have followed the guide and even downloaded the source though I cannot get the autocomplete to work locally...
https://www.roytuts.com/autocomplete-inp...and-flask/

I am running W10 with python 3.9 and pip with flask and ajax installed.

The server runs the site and I can see the text input noticed
127.0.0.1 - - [24/Oct/2020 13:55:19] "POST /search HTTP/1.1" 200 -
term: lore
though the autocomplete does not appear???

I have even tried my linux PC with the same result what stupidly obvious config am i missing?

thanks!!!
