select2
Select2 is a jQuery-based replacement for select boxes. It supports searching, remote data sets, and infinite scrolling of results. Compared to mobius1-selectr, Select2 is more feature-rich but also heavier due to its jQuery dependency.
chosen-js
Chosen is a JavaScript plugin that makes long, unwieldy select boxes more user-friendly. It supports both single and multi-select options with search functionality. Chosen is similar to mobius1-selectr but has a more classic design and requires jQuery.
selectize
Selectize is a hybrid of a textbox and a select box. It offers tagging, remote data binding, and dynamic dropdowns. Selectize is more versatile than mobius1-selectr but also more complex to configure.
