Advanced Select
Turn Drop Down, Multi Select, and Address fields into searchable, keyboard-accessible inputs that handle thousands of choices.
What it does
Long dropdown lists are hard to use, especially on mobile or when the list has hundreds or thousands of options. Scrolling through them wastes time and frustrates users.
Advanced Select adds a search box to your Drop Down, Multi Select, and Address fields. Users type a few letters and the list filters instantly. It works with Populate Anything to load large datasets on demand as you scroll, so the form stays fast even with thousands of choices.
It is built for anyone who needs searchable selects: product catalogs, staff directories, country and state pickers, event session lists, and more. It also supports keyboard navigation and screen readers, so every user can interact with the field without a mouse.
