Module Description
Chosen uses the Chosen jQuery plugin to make your <select> elements more user-friendly.
Usage
By default the module will automatically apply itself to any select elements that have more than 20 options, which is a reasonable default for which having Chosen will be useful. To change or disable this automatic enhancement, you can change the selectors (or remove all selectors) from the Apply Chosen to the following elements field on the Chosen administration page.
FAPI #chosen property For developers, you can force the Chosen plugin to be applied or never applied to your select FAPI element by adding $element['#chosen'] = TRUE; or $element['#chosen'] = FALSE; respectively.
Field UI You can force enable/disable Chosen for certain field widgets: Select list (for both list and date fields), and Select (or other) list. If you have a field using one of these widgets, in the field settings, you will find a Apply Chosen to the select fields in this widget? option with three values: Apply, Do not apply, or No preference (which will fall back to using the automatic application).
