TypeError autocomplete is not a function

Question

I am getting the TypeError: $(...).autocomplete is not a function when using the following code inside a Drupal module.

jQuery(document).ready(function($) { 
              $("#search_text").autocomplete({ 
                    source:results, 
                    minLength:2, 
                    position: { offset:'-30 0' }, 
                    select: function(event, ui ) { 
                                  goTo(ui.item.value); 
                                  return false; 
                } 
      }); 
});

jQuery should work and I have tried using a different variable for $ - any ideas what else might be the problem?

Drupal specific answer for autocomplete:

drupal_add_library('system', 'ui.autocomplete');

You would definitely have missed the Jquery UI Library. Use CDN of Jquery UI or if you want it locally then download the file from Jquery UI as mentioned below:-

<link href="http://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.2/themes/smoothness/jquery-ui.css" rel="Stylesheet"> <script src="YourJquery source path"></script> 
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.2/jquery-ui.js" ></script>
