Fast Filter/Search List jQuery Plugin - lookingfor.js

lookingfor.js is a tiny and blazing fast live fitler/fuzzy search jQuery plugin that allows your users to quickly filter long HTML lists or large datasets created by any other HTML element.

How to use it:

1. Include the minified version of the lookingfor.js plugin on the page.

<script src="/path/to/cdn/jquery.slim.min.js"></script>
<script src="/path/to/dist/jquery.lookingfor.min.js"></script>

2. Enable a search field to filter your HTML list.

<input type="search" class="filter" />

<ul class="demo">
  <li>Abkhazia,GE</li>
  <li>Afghanistan,AF</li>
  <li>Aland,AX</li>
  <li>Albania,AL</li>
  <li>Algeria,DZ</li>
  <li>American Samoa,AS</li>
  <li>Andorra,AD</li>
  <li>Angola,AO</li>
  <li>Anguilla,AI</li>
  <li>Antigua and Barbuda,AG</li>
  ...
</li>

$('ul.demo').lookingfor({
  input: $('input.filter'),
  items: 'li',
});

3. Determine to highlight the matched characters in the result. Default: false.

$('ul.demo').lookingfor({
  input: $('input.filter'),
  items: 'li',
  highlight: true,
  highlightColor: '#ffde00',
});

4. The plugin provides a callback function which will be triggered when search text is found in the list.

$('ul.demo').lookingfor({
  input: $('input.filter'),
  items: 'li',
  onFound: function(item, query){
    // ...
  }
});
