Streamlit-searchbox

As explained in DuckDB in Action

streamlit-searchbox is a Streamlit component library that provides searchable input controls with features such as autocomplete.

streamlit-searchbox adds searchable input controls to Streamlit apps, including autocomplete. Declare the component in Python, provide a search callback, and let Streamlit render the interactive control. section 9.1.3

Compare two players

Install the library, import st_searchbox, and place two controls in Streamlit columns. Each invokes search_players while the user types, with Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal as defaults; selecting a result assigns the chosen player to the corresponding variable. section 9.1.3

How DuckDB in Action covers it

How deep it goes
Explains installation, import, layout, callbacks, defaults, and selection behavior, but defers the component’s internal rendering implementation.
Examples
Uses two player search boxes for Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal, then searches for Andy Murray and renders selected results.
What it assumes
Assumes Streamlit and Python app structure, while demonstrating installation, import, component declaration, and callback wiring.
What you can do after
Apply it via the streamlit-searchbox library to build callback-driven autocomplete controls with defaults and layout placement.
How it connects
Connects Streamlit components, Python callbacks, autocomplete, and interactive data queries.
