The <datalist> element with a text input field is an HTML native typeahead, which works great with SSR or you could wire up the datalist client side with an XHR creating the datalist.

You maybe don't get full control over the rendering style of it, but it's a still significantly more usable than the Angular Material autocompletes.

That's an interesting one I wasn't familiar with.

It's a shame clicking on it doesn't show the options like a select box though.

Click again I guess?

> Recommended values in types text, search, url, tel, email and number, are displayed in a drop-down menu when user clicks or double-clicks on the control.

Clicking it shows the options for me (Chrome 119).

On paper, <datalist> is great but as implemented (or not) in all browsers, it has issues. This post walks through an example of using the element but also summarizes issues (as of June 2023): Under-Engineered Comboboxen?
