Topic: Searchable select - Filter by starting letter
Hello! I know how to make a searchable select box, but I want to find the options that start with the text that I'm typing, not that contain it. Is there a way? Or can point me to the specific JS that I should edit? Thanks!
Expected behavior
Filter options in select box if they start with a specific string
Actual behavior
Filter options in select box if they contain a specific string

<option value="1">USA</option>
<option value="2">Germany</option>
<option value="3">France</option>
<option value="3">Poland</option>
<option value="3">Japan</option>
</select>
Hi,
The described functionality of the component is not included in our specification. At the moment, we do not plan to expand the capabilities of the component so as not to degrade its stability.
If you would like to try to change it on your own you should seek for bindSearchInputKeyup function inside material-select-view.js in your src/js/pro directory. Please remember that you should bundle your code on your own after the change, or manually add changed material-select to your index.html file, but we cannot guarantee its stability after that.
Keep coding,
Marcin
