This demo shows how to integrate third-party data and override the scoring method.

// <select id="select-repo"></select>
$('#select-repo').selectize({
    valueField: 'url',
    labelField: 'name',
    searchField: 'name',
    options: [],

                    '<span class="name"><i class="icon ' + (item.fork ? 'fork' : 'source') + '"></i>' + escape(item.name) + '</span>' +
                    '<span class="by">' + escape(item.username) + '</span>' +
