Options to Search "Hidden" Values

[ubergraham]

Would love an option to have the search include values that might not be displayed -- for example, if you have the word Kansas, typing "KS" would still bring up Kansas.

I like this!

To everyone interested in differentiating value from displayed text, aka key/value feature, aka array of objects feature.

The code is ready and it's almost 100% backward compatible. To ensure everything working fine for you we need your help with testing it in the wild before it's released. See this PR: Separate label/value for each suggestion in list

[vlazar]

Separate label/value is landed #16866
It is also possible to initialize list with separate label/value via <datalist> or <ul>.

Read about different label and value at the end of Basic usage section and about new data method at the end of Extend section.

You can use suggestion objects with label/value and have as many additional properties as you like. Changing filter to filter by additional hidden properties is trivial.
