Can't bind to 'formControl' since it isn't a known property of 'search-select'.

Hello. It's hard to tell exactly what is wrong with just a few snippets of code. But my guess from this message is that it has little to do with angular-material-search-select directly, but rather that you are not bringing in the FormModule and ReactiveFormModule to your component. Those are the things needed which define the [formControl] binding. The search select component participates in the Angular form binding mechanism but does not itself directly define this binding.

example module import here:

Ow you are probably right, I thought these modules where imported by your module internally already. Yea a small usage/getting started could help.

[kylecordes]

They are probably imported inside the module and used there, but since you are using [formControl] from "outside" as you would with any other form control, I think it makes the most sense to import it in the usual way.

I have an idea though, to make a standalone example on StackBlitz, to make it easier to get started.

(It's also possible it might become moot, it sounds like the Angular Material team is eventually going to add some kind of search-select-like capability, eventually. If they do I will aim to upgrade this code to use it, if this code is still necessary.)
