ontology search list on front page incomplete

[graybeal]

When you go to the BioPortal home page and start entering search terms for ontologies, common strings will only return up to 20 matches. That isn't enough to find the ontology if you aren't sure of other words in it, and you can't scroll the list to see more.

Example strings: biolog, ontolog, medical.

The input element is currently configured to use the jquery-autocomplete plug-in, which appears to have been abandoned / retired roughly 5 years ago. Will look at potential replacements, e.g., Select2.

Another possible replacement is Choices-js a lightweight, configurable select box/text input plugin. Similar to Select2 and Selectize but without the jQuery dependency (that we try to remove)

@syphax-bouazzouni - did you suggest Choices.js because you've adopted it in AgroPortal?

[syphax-bouazzouni]

In fact, since than we went to use https://tom-select.js.org/ , see ontoportal-lirmm#310 for more details.
