Research direction
Review the typeahead.js source code to identify all usages of jQuery. Determine if the library can be rewritten to use vanilla JS or a lighter alternative. The maintainer has not responded yet, so the first step is to understand the scope of changes required. Files to examine include the main typeahead source files and any jQuery plugins used.
