Search containing string in chosen / multiple select dropdown list

Hi to all,

 

I have created a n_n relation and the jquery chosen plugin works very fine. I just experienced that when using the search field of the dropdown I only can search strings that start with the provided search string, but nothing that also contains the search string.

 

Is there a way to change this behaviour or is this a limitation of chosen.js ?

 

Thanks to all!

-Rob

Set search_contains: true into

/assets/grocery_crud/js/jquery_plugins/config/jquery.chosen.config.js

 

$(function(){
    $(".chosen-select,.chosen-multiple-select").chosen({allow_single_deselect:true});
});

 

to

 

$(function(){
    $(".chosen-select,.chosen-multiple-select").chosen({allow_single_deselect:true, search_contains: true});    
});

A search box is added to the top of the dropdown automatically for select boxes where only a single option can be selected. The behavior and appearance of the search box can be easily customized with Select2. You can try it. word to pdf
