I want something like Google search matches. When I type something Google gives me some options which match the words I have typed so far; for example if I type "Rog" it gives me the options of "Rogers", "Rogers Yahoo", "Rogers email", "Rogers Centre" and these suggestions are part of the input box not a separate "list" or.... I know this one is possible with angular. I appreciate it if you can guide me :-)

PS: Sorry I was not able to attach a picture(example of Google search) to clarify! Thanks

There are two resources available from Angular UI that can get you started:

From Angular Bootstrap, there's Typeahead. This is a fairly lightweight solution with no other external dependencies. It's also very simple, in that it just provides a simple suggestion list below the input.

The alternative is UI Select2. This is a much more complex version, with many more features. However, it does have dependencies on both the jQuery and Select2 libraries.

Thanks that's great; and do you know for Typehead, in the javascript part how I can pass "$scope.states" values with a web service result? – Shima Mdz Jul 10 '13 at 3:25
    
The typeahead link is dead, use this one instead: angular-ui.github.io/bootstrap/#/typeahead – ryan knell May 28 '14 at 6:26
