Use cases
- Enhancing native selects with search.

searchable. - Nesting optgroups: native selects only support one level of nesting. Select2
does not have this restriction. - Tagging: ability to add new items on the fly.
- Working with large, remote datasets: ability to partially load a dataset based
on the search term. - Paging of large datasets: easy support for loading more pages when the results
are scrolled to the end. - Templating: support for custom rendering of results and selections.
