Content - Dexterity Item

For all vocabulary types we check three things

• searching - entering a term should show values that match the term
• available - if I've selected Term2, Term2 should not show again in the drop down.
• ordering - select2 lets you order the values by drag/drop. The request parameters must be passed accordingly
• context value - when the edit page is rendered, an existing value should be appropriately represented
