In this tutorial, we are going to learn Multiple Select Plugin and Dynamic Autocomplete. In the previous tutorial, we already have seen Simple and Multiple Search. Now, we are going to perform Dropdown with Button Search and Focus Show Search. You can also check the live demo of this simple tutorial, so you can get an idea and you can try this out, let's start coding.

How to create it.

This is the data. It looks like this,

<script>
    $(function() {
    var dataSource = [
        {id: 1, firstName: 'John', lastName: 'Doe'},
        {id: 2, firstName: 'Jane', lastName: 'Meyer'},
        {id: 3, firstName: 'Mark', lastName: 'Lloyd'},
        {id: 4, firstName: 'Wency', lastName: 'Joe'},
        {id: 5, firstName: 'Jennifer', lastName: 'Cortis'},
        {id: 6, firstName: 'John Mark', lastName: 'Natividad'},
        {id: 7, firstName: 'Mary Jane', lastName: 'Dy'},
        {id: 8, firstName: 'Arnold', lastName: 'Lucart'},
        {id: 9, firstName: 'Jenny', lastName: 'Lou'},
        {id: 10, firstName: 'Steve', lastName: 'Ly'},
    ];
    });
</script>

Insert input field into the web page.

<section>
    <input class="magicsearch" id="simple-search" placeholder="search names...">
</section>

Include the jQuery Plugin to complete this simple tutorial.

<script>
        $('#simple-search').magicsearch({
            dataSource: dataSource,
            fields: ['firstName', 'lastName'],
            id: 'id',
            format: '%firstName% %lastName%',
            focusShow: true
        });
    });
</script>
