Select2

=======



Select2 is a jQuery-based replacement for select boxes. It supports searching, remote data sets, and infinite scrolling of results.



To get started, checkout examples and documentation at http://ivaynberg.github.com/select2



Use cases

---------



* Enhancing native selects with search.

it, and make a pull request back to Select2 here on GitHub.
