  * ### Notes
+ * **Autocomplete Dropdown Items Rendering**
+ *
  * The `md-autocomplete` uses the the <a ng-href="api/directive/mdVirtualRepeatContainer">VirtualRepeat</a>
  * directive for displaying the results inside of the dropdown.<br/>
+ *
  * > When encountering issues regarding the item template please take a look at the
  *   <a ng-href="api/directive/mdVirtualRepeatContainer">VirtualRepeatContainer</a> documentation.
  *
+ * **Autocomplete inside of a Virtual Repeat**
+ *
+ * When using the `md-autocomplete` directive inside of a
+ * <a ng-href="api/directive/mdVirtualRepeatContainer">VirtualRepeatContainer</a> the dropdown items might
+ * not update properly, because caching of the results is enabled by default.
+ *
+ * The autocomplete will then show invalid dropdown items, because the VirtualRepeat only updates the
+ * scope bindings, rather than re-creating the `md-autocomplete` and the previous cached results will be used.
+ *
+ * > To avoid such problems ensure that the autocomplete does not cache any results.
+ *
+ * <hljs lang="html">

+ *       md-search-text="searchText"
