I know I can use a simple datalist like the w3schools link below but I’m looking for something which is a bit more customizable

https://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_datalist.asp

What I have is either a datalist or more preferably a JS array {id: 1, text: ‘This is my text’, id: 2, text: ‘second ‘}

I need some code which based on user input will return possible matches in a custom list.

Anyone got anything similar to get me started?

@SempervivumMar 16.2022 — I know about two plugins that might fit your needs:

https://selectize.dev

https://select2.org

@kiwisauthorMar 17.2022 — Thanks, I've used select2 before. The issue is both use select tags and with thousands of rows to search the page load times are horrendous.

I was going to use a textbox and a JS function to search an array for matches. Then return a subset of this, maybe the first 10 only?

I'm just now sure how you'd search a JS node of an array against text input

Use ajax and server side filtering:

Success!
