There should be DatalistControl module

[foysalremon]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Sometimes on SelectControl there are a lot of options. User have to scroll a lot to find the option to select. And it's also difficult to find the option. Ex: Selecting a country from all country list.

There should be something like select option with search. So that user can search to shortlist the options to select from.

Describe the solution you'd like

• We can use a component for datalist which is a HTML5 element supported by all major browser.
• This component can be named DatalistControl

Describe alternatives you've considered
Another alternative can be using TextControl and a group of RadioControl together and bind them. But this may not be a optimal solution.

Is there any place in Gutenberg that would benefit from such a component? We usually only include components that are actually used by the editor itself. Everything else one would need to implement themselves.

Isn't this the exact use case for the already implemented (although atm not working) autocomplete component?

@swissspidy This component will benefit on inspector control settings for selecting easily from a lot of options on a select field.
@simonhammes I think this and autocomplete are for 2 different purpose.

I would absolutely use a <DatalistControl /> component and am happy to work on this.
