Chosen - awesome solution for large select boxes by releu
Chosen produce a search field with autocomplete and helps to find option.
This select:

after
$("select").chosen({ placeholder_text_single: 'Choose an awesome website' });
will be replaced by this box:

#chosen is a first-class plugin. It provides a lot of options, it looks great and your users will be happy to use it.

It's not as first-class plugin as you describe :( I have a really bad experience with Chosen.

@kirs point out the problem plz, saying that smth bad (especially in #js) without explanation is weird.
Don't forget about http://gistflow.com/posts/83-tag-it-jquery-plugin-for-tag-select, it is useful for ajax autocomplete and works good right out of the box.

@releu it's fucking hell to customize it and that's one of the reasons why github doesn't use it.
