jQuery Mobile - Filterable Basics

Description

You can set data-filter attribute to true on a listview to create a filter for its items of the list.

To enter the search string, you have to provide a text field in your markup and filterable makes the use of it by giving a selector to access the text field's value of datainput attribute.
