Where is the typeahead JavaScript module in Bootstrap 3 RC 1?

As you know Bootstrap RC 1 is here, and I have been reading about all the new awesome features in this new framework. But guess what, typehead is out of the documentation. Does anyone know if this is for any reason?

I found these examples while googling and also I read in this post that they changed the typehead Bootstrap. So do I have to add it manually or is it also in the Bootstrap 3 bundle?

Does anyone know something about this?

I also found too many things gone such as nav classes, typeahead,controlled form input widths, search box, submenus. Changing classes to make it complex such as icon- to .glyphicon, span to col-lg-xxxxx? I would credit jquery in that regard or google policy I mean give enough backward compatibility so that people can stick to your product. Rather than imposing your idea just on others and judge in these words "We think that is not needed" Who are you to judge. So this change policy is more Microsoft stuff. They keep changing things and we developers always keep learning and wasting time. HELL! - Asif Ashraf
someone has added back the typeahead to Bootstrap 3 here - MK Yung
This works with old bootstrap2 code without nodification. Just include the extra js file after the bootstrap 3 load. - giorgio
This solved my problems with timschlechter.github.io/bootstrap-tagsinput/examples Thanks! - Lucia

I believe it has been deprecated in favor of Twitter's excellent typeahead.js. Their documentation has a Bootstrap integration section that should help.

edit: Twitter has removed the integration instructions. It's not clear if this is temporary in advance of a Bootstrap 3.0-compatible release or if it's gone for good, but @drye links to a useful replacement at http://www.aureliomerenda.com/install-typeahead-bootstrap-3-fix-css-overlay-width-100/.

Now that the final Bootstrap 3.0.0 has been released, the typeahead has been officially removed. However, Twitter's Typeahead (https://github.com/twitter/typeahead.js) can be used in it's place:

As ceejayoz already stated, you need the typeahead.js + the additional CSS for integrate with Bootstrap.

This is made for Bootstrap 2.

If you want it to work with Bootstrap 3, you have to change the .tt-hint class. I changed it to display: none; because it overlayed very terrible.

I also noticed that Button addons (to inputs) don't work that well because the input gets not correctly overridden too.

I found the adaption [may 2014] ;)

for others landing here from google like I did, still searching for the right answer: https://github.com/bassjobsen/Bootstrap-3-Typeahead

and if you need it working with knockout 3 like I do, I adapted the code from the genius Niemeyer ( https://stackoverflow.com/a/20503173/1218136 ) minimally to work again:

<input type="text" data-bind="value: value, typeahead: {source: your_array}" />

Yes, typeahead is deprecated in Bootstrap 3.

But typeahead.js is not ready for Bootstrap 3.

The working solution is to add the additional css, which repairs the css problems: https://github.com/jharding/typeahead.js-bootstrap.css
