To try out the demo open demo.html file in browser.

Example

Your page template can look like this:

<can-import from="can-search-select" />
<can-search-select {items}="items"
                   filter-prop-name="companyName"
                   {format}="@format"
                   {format-input}="@formatInput"
                   {^selected-item}="selectedItem" />

Your view model can look like this:

const vm = new DefineMap({
  selectedItem: null,
  items: [{
    companyName: 'Alphabet',
    issuanceName: 'Preferred Series A',
    price: '1,494'
  }],
  format (item) {
    return item.companyName + ', ' + item.issuanceName + ', price: ' + item.price;
  },
  formatInput (item) {
    return item.companyName;
  }
})

There is also a simple dropdown select without a search:

<can-import from="can-search-select/can-select" />
<can-select {items}="items"
            display-prop-name="companyName"
            {^selected-item}="selectedItem" />
