Please try this:

$("#inputFilter").change(function() {
    var filter = $(this).val();
    //alert(filter);
    $("#selectList option").each(function() {
        var match = $(this).text().search(new RegExp(filter, "i"));
        //alert(match);
        if (match < 0 && $(this).text() != "--select--")  {                   
            $(this).attr("disabled",true);
        }
        else
            $(this).attr("disabled",false);

    });
});
