How to select multiple values when filtering a column

182i38r

For example: If I have a column with values of 100 different names and I want my user to be able to search and find all values that match "Matt" and "Kevin", what is the best way to do this?

I am currently using a text field at the bottom of the column which works great for filtering out just one name, but finding multiple values is troubling.

This example uses the select2 JS library. It should get you started:

Thank you kthorngren, that is exactly what I would like to do. I am still having trouble getting this to work with data that I am pulling from mysql though.
