I wanted to add some thoughts to this combobox epic. I would like to see better support for customisation of client/server side search capabilities of the Calcite Combobox akin to what is possible in other UI libraries such as ReachUI.

client-side search

server-side search

This functionality is somewhat currently replicable with the current Calcite Combobox as shown in this US City Search Demo.

Unfortunately the implementation is hindered by the following:

• 7212

• 7174

• The added logic conflicts with internal filtering - see console warnings "No data was passed to the filter function. The data argument should be an array of objects"
• Poor options for adding non-selectable items - e.g. "No Results Found".
• Poor Options for adding custom actions into the combox box menu. E.g. Use my current location button.

Ideally it would be great to be able to achieve functionality similar to the Esri Search Widget in the JSAPI.

In addition to above I wanted to add an example of a custom typeahead stencil widget that we have developed which ideally we would want to try and eventually switch out to be a calcite component: https://i.imgur.com/IiSfUv3.mp4

@JonnyDawe @geospatialem @macandcheese Would it be helpful to have the above logged as a new issue(s)?
