Hi I am Sreedhar Ambati. I want to use Freebase for one of my search engine application. From the autosuggested contents I selected one of the content and I want to capture that fully suggested text beside the image. Using " fb-select " I am getting the id and name. But not the text of the content.

Please help me in this. This is my id: ambatisreedhar@gmail.com

Thanks Sreedhar Ambati
