html encoded values is not finding search match

[dibiancoj]

I have a select list item where the text displayed for an option is "E&O". When searched we never find a match.

In Chosen.prototype.get_search_text return $('

').text($.trim(this.search_field.val())).html();

I believe we should be returning .text() instead of .html(). This way we aren't searching for html encoded items.

I think this is fixed now as a result of #2254. Please re-open with a link to a fiddle if you're still seeing the problem after upgrading.

Still doesn't work. Type O. E&O should be returned. Fiddle is below.

@dibiancoj that Fiddle doesn’t work! :)

I should be more clear. The fiddle throws a script error, and Chosen isn’t initialized.

Aha, not finding "E&O" for "O" is probably this instead: #1483

Looks like you’re just missing an option — search_contains: true.

See this updated fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/hpv4La79/7/. I believe it now works as you’re expecting.

Actually let me pull the changes into my full solution with all my chosen and check if the change worked
