 Nice job @keesiemeijer!

 I think we have to filter the results with `array_unique()` before adding
 them the autocomplete list , see [attachment:542-duplicates.png].

 But wouldn't it be a better UX if you can click on an autocomplete item
 and it redirects you to the search result directly? The search doesn't
 support multiple names at once, so the next action is clicking on the
 Search button. In this case `array_unique()` would be wrong, it should
 probably display the type too like "get_terms (Function)" and "get_terms
 (Filter Hook)".
