Dropdown button should still work if there aren't any matches
I've tried out this plugin, and it works very nicely, close to perfect. The only problem I've encountered is with the dropdown "button".
First, I think the mouse icon should change to normal when it's over this button. Also, when I typed something that filters out some or all of the options, and I go to click the dropdown button, I intuitively expect it to show me all of the options again and stop filtering. Then, once I click something or start typing again, it should revert back to the filtering mode. Otherwise, as a user, I would have to manually clear out my entry in order to see the other options.
Thanks
Don't waste your time with this, it has a horrible performance and lacks of the most basic features.

This is by far the best made editable select that I've seen online, so, unless you have a better alternative, your words are wasted. Most of the others I've tried do terribly in the looks and consistency department.
The behavior you describe is the same way in which HTML5's Datalist works. I also find it kinda odd, but it has it's logic because of the filtering ot the elements.
You may try the plugin's filtering option in the initialization params, if you set it as false the options will always be displayed. Also, someone came up with some sort of workaround, I haven't tested it though https://github.com/indrimuska/jquery-editable-select/issues/27#issuecomment-354130620
