Use multiselect as an input component as well as a select component

[el-duderino5]

Is there anyway to use vue-multiselect to set the bound model of the component to whatever is being typed at any point in time, just like an HTML input? Basically, I would like to behave it as both a select component (as it does right now) and as input field which I can use to send to my backend in order to be persisted in a database. Pretty much like a form field and a select component at the same time.

+1, if not for styling being consistent in my forms (vue-form-generator)

I managed to achieve what you describe (combo box behavior) with vue-multiselect by listening both to input and search-change events, like this:

<multiselect :options="options" :value="field" 
  @input="setField($event)" @search-change="setField($event)"  
  :preserve-search="true" :show-no-results="false" :clear-on-select="false" />

setField(value) {
  this.field = value
}

+1, would really love this feature! I need to retain whatever freetext is put into the input field and at the same time show clickable suggestions. When clicking I still what the value to be what the user searched, instead I will use the selection for other parts of my form.
