* `searchChange: Event` - search change event when the search text changes

### Dropdown service
* `openDropdown(instanceId:string)` - method to open a particular dropdown instance
* `closeDropdown(instanceId:string)` - method to close a particular dropdown instance
* `isOpen(instanceId:string)` - method to check if a particular instance dropdown is open
* `openInstances` - instanceId list of all the open instances

### Change detection

As of now `ngx-select-dropdown` uses Default change detection startegy which means dirty checking checks for immutable data types. And in Javascript Objects and arrays are mutable. So when changing any of the @Input parameters if you mutate an object change detection will not detect it. For ex:-
````
this.options.push({id: 34, description: 'Adding new item'});

// or

config.height = '200px';

`````
Both the above scenarios will not trigger the change detection. In order for the componet to detect the changes what you need to do is:-
````
this.options = [...this.options, {id: 34, description: 'Adding new item'}];

// or

config = {...config, height:'200px'};

````
