Selectize is the hybrid of a textbox and <select> box. It's jQuery-based and it's useful for tagging, contact lists, country selectors, and so on
Features
- Skinnable — Comes with LESS stylesheets and shims for Bootstrap 2and Bootstrap 3 (+ precompiled CSS).
- Clean API & Code + Extensible — Interface & make addons like a boss with the plugin system. Fully documented on GitHub & inline.
- Smart Ranking / Multi-Property Searching & Sorting — Want to search an item's title and description? No problem. You can even override the scoring function used for sorting if you want to get crazy. Uses sifter.js.
- Caret Between Items — Order matters sometimes. Use the left and right arrow keys to move between items.
- Select & Delete multiple items at once — Hold down option on Mac or ctrl on Windows to select more than one item to delete.
- RTL + Díåcritîçs supported — Great for international environments.
- Item Creation — Allow users to create items on the fly (and it's async friendly; the control locks until you invoke a callback).
- Remote Data Loading — For when you have thousands of options and want them provided by the server as the user types.

The order of the array defines the sort precedence. Unless present, a special "$score" field will be automatically added to the beginning of the sort list. This will make results sorted primarily by match quality (descending). For more information, see the sifter documentation. |

| searchConjunction | When searching for multiple terms (separated by a space), this is the operator used. Can be "and" or "or". | string | 'and' | |||||||||
