jquery select2 plugin how to get only the result 'myString%'

Question

i\'m using the jquery-select2 plugin but i\'m wondering how can i get only results that begins with the typed keyword ( like \'myString%\')

Answer 1

The documentation actually provides an example for that:

$("select").select2({
    matcher: function(term, text) {
        return text.toUpperCase().indexOf(term.toUpperCase())==0;
    }
});

The above matcher is case-insensitive, for case-sensitive remove both .toUpperCase() calls.
