It would be awesome if there was an admin option to force chosen to search from the beginning of a string.

The jquery chosen module has a setting "enable_split_word_search" which we can disable to achieve this functionality.

Here is a patch we used to achieve this functionality. You can check "Searches from start of string only" from admin/config/user-interface/chosen, and the jquery chosen will be configured to search options from the beginning of the string only.

I cant see any difference with this option on or off.
Can someone provide reproduction steps?
