How to make a custom select box with filter using jQuery Mobile?

I am having a problem with jQuery Mobile. I want to make a custom select box with search option on the top like in the ul of jQuery mobile. I have made a custom select box using jQuery mobile but cannot add the search bar on it. I want exactly the thing like this:

http://jsfiddle.net/sEMyT/2/

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<link class="jsbin" href="http://code.jquery.com/mobile/1.0b2/jquery.mobile-1.0b2.min.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<script class="jsbin" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.6.2.min.js"></script>
<script class="jsbin" src="https://github.com/downloads/aliok/jquery-mobile/jquery.mobile_selectmenu_filter_01.js"></script>
<title>JS Bin</title>
</head>
<body>

  <div data-role="page">
    <div data-role="content">

  <h2>Select menu options filtering</h2>

            <p>The mobile browsers are limited and sometimes it is annoying to scroll a long list. For this kind of selects, you can use <code>data-filter</code> attribute alongside with <code>data-force-dialog</code> and <code>data-native</code> attributes to have a select menu with search bar filtering its options.</p>


            <a href="#" onclick="$('#select-choice-12').selectmenu('refresh', true); return false;">Refresh the selectmenu (forcerebuild) with clearing the filter value</a>

                    <div data-role="fieldcontain">
                        <label for="select-choice-12" class="select">Your state:</label>
                        <select name="select-choice-12" id="select-choice-12" data-native-menu="false" data-force-dialog="true" data-native-menu="false" data-filter="true">

  </div>

</body>
</html>

But the problem with that it is customized with a very old version of jQuery Mobile and I am using the latest version.

this link its the best https://github.com/studiosedition/JQM-Custom-Search-Filtering-Example i tested

other example for custom filter

http://jsfiddle.net/dondavidml/ekbo4uy5/

$("ul").listview('option', 'filterCallback', function (text, searchValue) {
console.log(" searchValue " + searchValue.toUpperCase() + " text " + text.substring(0, searchValue.length).toUpperCase());
if (searchValue.toUpperCase() == (text.substring(0, searchValue.length).toUpperCase())) {
    return false;
}
return true; });

be careful, the order matters in the imports like this

    <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://code.jquery.com/mobile/1.1.1/jquery.mobile-1.1.1.min.css" />
    <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.7.1.min.js"></script>
    <script src="js/search-filter.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/mobile/1.3.0/jquery.mobile-1.3.0.min.js"></script>
