Fuse.js is purely just a fuzzy searching library. It's entirely up to the developer to do the front end (including the highlighting).
Based on AutoComplete.js's roadmap [0], it's pretty clear OP intends for this to become Fuse.js but with a front end component added on top.

However if project is named "autocomplete 2.0" (which is an UI concept first) and your landing page focuses on search input with suggestions, it's safe to assume whats the focus of the library.
> autoComplete.js is a simple pure vanilla Javascript library that's progressively designed for speed, high versatility and seamless integration with wide range of projects & systems.
In that sentence, the only thing that hints at the library's purpose is the word "autocomplete." All of the other words could be applied to any "pure vanilla Javascript library."
