Select To Autocomplete: Redesigned Country Selector An improved way to select a country in web forms. * Design improves upon a standard country dropdown list. * Accepts keyboard typing input. * Autocomplete from a list of synonyms. * Handles typos. * Prioritizes autocomplete results. The solution is a redesigned country selector that addresses the issues of drop-down country selectors. It handles typos, various spelling sequences, synonyms and prioritized options. The technically correct term for this would be something like an “auto-complete text field with loose partial matching, synonyms and weighted results.” That’s a bit long, so I’ve simply dubbed it the “Redesigned Country Selector”. - Read the article Redesigning The Country Selector by Christian Holst from Smashing Magazine http://uxdesign.smashingmagazine.com/2011/11/10/redesigning-the-country-selector/ - Try the demo http://baymard.com/labs/country-selector
