* Working with large datasets: Chosen requires the entire dataset to be loaded as `option` tags in the DOM, which limits
12
-
it to working with small-ish datasets. Select2 uses a function to find results on-the-fly, which allows it to partially
13
-
load results.
14
-
* Paging of results: Since Select2 works with large datasets and only loads a small amount of matching results at a time
15
-
it has to support paging. Select2 will call the search function when the user scrolls to the bottom of currently loaded
16
-
result set allowing for the 'infinite scrolling' of results.
17
-
* Custom markup for results: Chosen only supports rendering text results because that is the only markup supported by
18
-
`option` tags. Select2 provides an extension point which can be used to produce any kind of markup to represent results.
19
-
* Ability to add results on the fly: Select2 provides the ability to add results from the search term entered by the user, which allows it to be used for

tagging.

* Working with large remote datesets: ability to partially load a dataset based on the search term
