---------------------------------

Guys, even though I find it understand your requirements,

I'm not sure the 'nothingLabel' is actually good approach:

autocomplete doesn't serve the purpose of selection from choices, but rather suggesting when match is found.

If you want nothingLabel, I would suggest to use rich:select, which I believe should have this functionality.
rich:select provides your with a set of options your input is limited to. That's why it make sense to report user no valid option was found
/wrt the input he provided.

Without philosophical questions,

It seems jQuery UI Autocomnplete (which Rich Autocomplete is based on) also doesn't has this functionality built-in,
and people suggest to use such workarounds: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4141945/jquery-ui-autocomplete-show-something-when-no-results

If you want to help to proceed with this issue, please create an issue in RichWidgets issue tracker first and we can discuss impl details there.
