Magento Get Attribute values Collection by filter

Question

I am using Magento 1.9.3.6 version. I have an attribute called brand. I want to get brand attribute's values collection by filter in order to show it in input text box as autocomplete suggestions.

brand attribute

I have tried the following code:

$attributeId = Mage::getResourceModel("eav/entity_attribute")->getIdByCode("catalog_product","brand");
$attribute = Mage::getModel("catalog/resource_eav_attribute")->load($attributeId);
$attributeOptions = $attribute ->getSource()->getAllOptions();

I get this output in autocomplete input box:

auto complete

When I tried like this,

 $attributeOptions = $attribute ->getSource()->getAllOptions()->addAttributeToFilter("value", "brand");

it shows error.

Fatal error: Call to a member function addAttributeToFilter() on array in .../CustomController.php on line 52

• Piyush: I don't know any way to filter attribute option label, but you can add a if condition to check matching label before adding option to the $optionArray in above code foreach loop
