Bootstrap-select live search regardless of word order

Viewed 154

I am using snapappointments bootstrap-select dropdowns with live search on.

<select class="selectpicker" data-live-search="true">
  <option data-tokens="new york city" value="NY">New York City</option>
  ...
</select>
$('select').selectpicker();

Is it possible to override the standard way the live search works, so that I could type in keywords, regardless of their order? In extent, in the above example NY should be found for all of the phrases below:

  • new city
  • city new
  • new york city

In this particular example I know I could just include all permutations as "data-tokens", but it would not work so good in a select with a couple hundred options, each of 10-20 words.
