+#### Customize clear icon
+In order to customize the search icon, add the `ngxMatSelectSearchClear` to your custom clear item (a `mat-icon` or any other element) and place it inside the `ngx-mat-select-search` component:
+```html
+<ngx-mat-select-search>
+   <mat-icon ngxMatSelectSearchClear>delete</mat-icon>
+ </ngx-mat-select-search>
+```
+
+## Known Problems / Solutions
+* The search input is placed outside of the visible screen if the select element is at the top of the screen 
+    (in the stackblitz example, remove the header 
+     or add some content above the select and scroll the select to the top edge). [#1](https://github.com/bithost-gmbh/ngx-mat-select-search/issues/1)
+  
+  Workaround: use the disableOptionCentering option on the `<mat-select>`
