Many people need support for searching asynchronously over the network, but this is neat.

You can append to the list.

Yes. But Bootstrap themed.

it's a regular and standard input tag, https://jsfiddle.net/4qLv16sx/

The input is, yes. But I don't think the suggestion box is, is it?

yea the suggestion list is a browser specific implementation, so it can vary, on Chrome you can do a little more by passing options labels: https://jsfiddle.net/caub/8cz7skvh/

I use another native HTML more often: `<details>`

Bootstrap 2 had a typeahead but it was removed in BS 3. (Possibly in favor of twitter typeahead which was more active at the time.)
