Datalist search on all words

Question

I have implemented a datalist in my project and it works. However my issue can be seen in this simple tutorial. If you type Explorer, why does it not find Internet Explorer?

Answer 1

The behavior of <datalist> is different in different browsers. Some will search for a substring, and some will only search for an initial substring (like in the case you are describing).
