A kind of fuzzy search

See original GitHub issue

HI, I am loving the library but have 1 requirement that I cant seem to meet. Basically, I am using the library for an occupation list, one of the requirements is that if a user enters “IT” this should search for any entries with IT but also any that include “Computer”. Is this possible via the existing solution?

This is possible using the select2 library using the matcher function.

Thanks

Ok, you need to have some sort of hidden tags also? You may add tags to customProperties and then use searchfields option

Sorry, I explained it poorly. So what currently happens is, when the phrase IT (and variants of) is detected, then computer is added a search term, so effectively the list is search for job titles that start with either of those.
