typeahead.js - Can't return typeahead values from meteor server method back to client -

trying implement sergey-t's typeahead package on form in meteor app.

the issue is, can't seem return typeahead results server client.

typeahead works if make test array on client side , return via helper.

also, query results logging in server console. issue cant seem them client.

my js client console not showing errors, seems strange.

any appreciated.

html

<template name="typeaheadtemplate">  <!-- <input id="entry-field" class="typeahead input-lg form-control" type="text" name="text" placeholder="paste or enter id" autocomplete="off" spellcheck="off" data-source="search"/> -->  <input class="form-control typeahead" name="textentry" type="text" placeholder="paste or enter id ..." autocomplete="off" spellcheck="off" data-source="search"/>  </template> 

js client-side code

template.typeaheadtemplate.rendered = function() {     meteor.typeahead.inject(); };  template.typeaheadtemplate.helpers({      search: function(query, sync, callback) {       // alert( "typeaheadtemplate.search() " ) ;       // debugger;       meteor.call('search', query, {}, function(err, res) {         if (err) {           console.log(err);           return err;         }         callback(res.map(function(v){ return {value: v.name}; }));       });     }    }); 

js server-side code

typeahead = new mongo.collection("typeahead"); typeahead._ensureindex({"name": "text"});         // index name  meteor.methods({      search: function(query, options) {       // console.log("search result") ;       // return "search result" ;     // debugger;     // if (!query) return [];      options = options || {};     // guard against client-side denial of service: hard limit 50     if (options.limit) { options.limit = math.min(50, math.abs(options.limit)); }     else { options.limit = 50; }      var re = "^" + query + ".*$" ;     var th = typeahead.find({ "name" : {$regex : re } }, {fields: { name : 1 }});     console.log("query " + query + " -> " + th.count() );     th.foreach(function (autocompletestring) {       console.log("> " + autocompletestring.name);     });     return th;   }});
