I have created a country search when typing in the input box.

HTML is

```
Country<div class="holder_form"><input id="country" name="country" type="text" placeholder="Country" value="">
<ul id="country_wrapper"></ul>

```

Javascript is 

```
var countries={
    "1": {
        "name": "Afghanistan"
    },
    "2": {
        "name": "India"
    },
    "3": {
        "name": "Canada"
    },
    "4": {
        "name": "Estonia"
    },
    "5": {
        "name": "Greece"
    },
    "6": {
        "name": "Kenya"
    },
    "7": {
        "name": "Liberia"
    },
    "8": {
        "name": "Nepal"
    }
}

    $("#country").keyup(function (e) {
     var country = $( "#country" ).val();
     var len = country.length; 
     if(len <=0 && country!=''){     
        return false;
     }
     else if(len > 0){

        var matches = [];
            for (var i in countries) {
                var countriesMatch = countries[i].name.toLowerCase();
                if ( (countriesMatch.indexOf(country.toLowerCase()) != -1) ) {

                        matches.push( {'id': i, 'name': countries[i].name} );
                }
            }

        var content='';
        if ( matches.length == 0 ) {
             $('#country_wrapper').css('margin-top','20');
             content = '<li style="font-weight:bold;font-size: 18px;"><div class="nomatchfound">No match found</div></li>';
             $('#country_wrapper').html(content).show();

            return;
        }
         for (var i in matches) { 
             content += '<li style="font-weight:bold;font-size: 18px;"><a data-id="' + matches[i].id + '" class="country-select-item"><div id='+matches[i].name+' class="matchfound">'+matches[i].name+'</div></a></li>';
            }
            $('#country_wrapper').html(content).show();

        $('.matchfound').click(function(e) {
            var countryName = $(this).text(); 
            $( "#country" ).val(countryName);
            $('#country_wrapper').html('')
            $('#country_wrapper').css('display','none');

            });

    }

});

```

**Here is the [Jsfiddle demo](http://jsfiddle.net/v4vishnuprasad/xzr7dhto/2/)**

It works fine... :)

But I need to show only the country name which start with the letter(alphabet) I pressed in input box

ie,

Here when I pressed key "a" it shows all country names contining letter "a". But I need to get only country names starting with "a" in the list.. How is it possible?
Thanks in advance
