Features

• Smart Option Ranking
  As the user types, options are efficiently scored and sorted on-the-fly.
• Multi-property searching
  Want to search an item's title and description? No problem.
• Caret between items
  Order matters sometimes. Use the [left] and [right] arrow keys to move between selected items.
• Select & delete multiple items at once
  Hold down [option] on Mac or [ctrl] on Windows to select more than one item to delete.
• Díåcritîçs supported
  Great for international environments.
• Item creation
  Allow users to create items on the fly (async saving is supported; the control locks until the callback is fired).
• Remote data loading
  For when you have thousands of options and want them provided by the server as the user types.
• Clean API & code
  Interface with it and make modifications easily. Pull requests welcome!
• Touch Support
  Plays nice with iOS 5+ devices.
