agreed. Also found an issue with double form update on item select (not always).

Hi,

Expected behavior is when the search value does not exist in the options, an empty message should be displayed. Your example works with using [showEmptyMessage]= "true". I'll make it true by default to avoid misunderstandings such as this issue.
