Display Partial Array Value Matches From User Input

I have a jQuery array with a bunch of values. I want a user to be able to type into an input and have any partial matches to anything within my array display on the screen. So far

Solution 1:

something like this should work for you:

SUBSTRING SEARCH

for(var x = 0; x < ingredients.length; x++){
    if(ingredients[x].indexOf($("#ingredient-search").val()) > -1)
       $(".append").append(ingredients[x]+"<br>");
}

'STARTING WITH' SEARCH

for(var x = 0; x < ingredients.length; x++){
    if(ingredients[x].indexOf($("#ingredient-search").val()) == 0)
       $(".append").append(ingredients[x]+"<br>");
}

CASE INSENSITIVE SEARCH

for(var x = 0; x < ingredients.length; x++){
    if(ingredients[x].indexOf(($("#ingredient-search").val()).toLowerCase()) == 0)
       $(".append").append(ingredients[x]+"<br>");
}
