 ## Usage
 
@@ -43,26 +63,91 @@ Angular's autocomplete provides a fully accessible combobox implementation with:
 
 Users typing partial text expect immediate confirmation that their input matches an available option. Auto-select mode updates the input value to match the first filtered option as users type, reducing the number of keystrokes needed and providing instant feedback that their search is on the right track.

 ### Manual selection mode
 
 Manual selection mode keeps the typed text unchanged while users navigate the suggestion list, preventing confusion from automatic updates. The input only changes when users explicitly confirm their choice with Enter or a click.
