Follow these steps

1. Create Autocomplete in outside of the application folder.
2. Inside that create CI_autocomplete.php file

3. Inside CI_autocomplete.php add below code (Can download here)

   <?php
       /**
       * @property CI_DB_active_record $db
       * @property CI_DB_forge $dbforge
       * @property CI_Benchmark $benchmark
       * @property CI_Calendar $calendar
       * @property CI_Cart $cart
       * @property CI_Config $config
       * @property CI_Controller $controller
       * @property CI_Email $email
       * @property CI_Encrypt $encrypt
       * @property CI_Exceptions $exceptions
       * @property CI_Form_validation $form_validation
       * @property CI_Ftp $ftp
       * @property CI_Hooks $hooks
       * @property CI_Image_lib $image_lib
       * @property CI_Input $input
       * @property CI_Language $language
       * @property CI_Loader $load
       * @property CI_Log $log
       * @property CI_Model $model
       * @property CI_Output $output
       * @property CI_Pagination $pagination
       * @property CI_Parser $parser
       * @property CI_Profiler $profiler
       * @property CI_Router $router
       * @property CI_Session $session
       * @property CI_Sha1 $sha1
       * @property CI_Table $table
       * @property CI_Trackback $trackback
       * @property CI_Typography $typography
       * @property CI_Unit_test $unit_test
       * @property CI_Upload $upload
       * @property CI_URI $uri
       * @property CI_User_agent $user_agent
       * @property CI_Validation $validation
       * @property CI_Xmlrpc $xmlrpc
       * @property CI_Xmlrpcs $xmlrpcs
       * @property CI_Zip $zip
       */
   
       class CI_Controller {};
   
       /**
       * @property CI_DB_active_record $db
       * @property CI_DB_forge $dbforge
       * @property CI_Config $config
       * @property CI_Loader $load
       * @property CI_Session $session
       */
   
       class CI_Model {};
   
   
   ?>
   

4. Goto

     1. Uninstall - PHP CakePHP Framework (Option on Uninstall restart IDE later)

Answer 2

please note CI_DB_active_record change in codeigniter 3.

put

@property CI_DB_query_builder $db

instead of

@property CI_DB_active_record $db
