Here I am coming back to custom select is a jQuery plugin that converts a normal select into a customizable, searchable, cross-browser and mobile-friendly select list.

How to use it:

1. Include the jQuery library together with select2.min.css and select2.min.js in the page.

<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.3.1.min.js">
<link href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/select2/4.0.6-rc.0/css/select2.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />
 <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/select2/4.0.6-rc.0/js/select2.min.js"></script>

2. Create a standard html select list.

<h2>Search In Select Using Jquery</h2>
<select class="form-control" id="name">
   <option value="">---Select Name---</option>
   <option>Kailash</option>
   <option>Amit</option>
   <option>Abhishek</option>
   <option>Pranav</option>
   <option>Hemant</option>
   <option>Ranjeet</option>
   <option>Mokhtar</option>
   <option>Saba</option>
</select>

3. To initialize the plugin simply call the plugin like this.

<script>
    $(document).ready(function(){
        $('#name').select2({
                   placeholder: "Select Name",
                selectOnClose: true
        });
    });
</script>

Hope this will help our developers.
