Research direction
Investigate the difference between mouse and touch events in React, specifically how onBlur is triggered on touch devices. The issue suggests that tapping on another input field does not fire onBlur on the autosuggest. A possible fix might involve adding a touch event listener or using the `onTouchEnd` event to manually trigger blur. Check the component's event handling in the source code.
