Forces selection of first result

[sfc-gh-pkommini]

Hi @m-wrzr Is there a way we can default to not select any of the results from the list and just submit the raw string submitted on the search?

Like in google I can select from the list or just enter and search using the raw sting. If you can point me on how to modify the default behavior. I can help submit a change.

Example:

In the above screenshot I just want to submit "Hi" but the list item 1 is automatically selected although I didn't explicitly select it.

In google, the first suggestion is actually just what I typed, and nothing more.

Is there a way to emulate this behavior? I would need to add the typed string to the list of suggestions and then default to the typed string for the selection.

@m-wrzr Could you review and let me know if this is acceptable?

Found that this can be addressed by returns the search term as part of the search function. Also, for it to appear at the start we need to add the searchterm at the start of the list that is returned as part of the search function.
