I was looking for exactly the same and I think We have been lucky. They added the autocomplete recently, (not yet in the documentation). But you can see the info here https://github.com/SuperDJ/materialize/commit/3648f74542e41c3b3be4596870b7485f6ebdf176#diff-e4535828acef79852aa104417c16fe3dR157

and the code:

• https://github.com/SuperDJ/materialize/blob/master/bin/materialize.css

• https://github.com/SuperDJ/materialize/blob/master/bin/materialize.js

Answer 2

As per, here.

You just need to do this simple thing (From the example there only):

HTML:

<div class="row">
    <div class="col s12">
      <div class="row">
        <div class="input-field col s12">
          <i class="material-icons prefix">textsms</i>
          <input type="text" id="autocomplete-input" class="autocomplete">
          <label for="autocomplete-input">Autocomplete</label>
        </div>
      </div>
    </div>

JS:

$('input.autocomplete').autocomplete({
    data: {
      "Apple": null,
      "Microsoft": null,
      "Google": null
   }
});

Visit the link for demo https://ampersandacademy.com/demo/autocomplete/

you can easily achieve the autocomplete functionality using the Devberidge plugin.

Get Devbridge plugin using https://github.com/devbridge/jQuery-Autocomplete

 <script type="text/javascript">

$(document).ready(function() {


          $("#country").devbridgeAutocomplete({
            //lookup: countries,
            serviceUrl:"getCountry.php", //tell the script where to send requests
              type:'POST',


              //callback just to show it's working
              onSelect: function (suggestion) {
                 // $('#selection').html('You selected: ' + suggestion.value + ', ' + suggestion.data);
                },
            showNoSuggestionNotice: true,
            noSuggestionNotice: 'Sorry, no matching results',


          });

});

Here the getCountry.php file returns the JSON data. For more info visit https://ampersandacademy.com/tutorials/materialize-css/materialize-css-framework-ajax-autocomplete-example-using-php

}));

You can use the above .js file and you can over ride

Onselect
 showListOnFocus: false,
            minLength:2

according to your requirement and it will work.
