Make Classic HTML Dropdowns Searchable - Find Options Instantly!

Tired of scrolling through long dropdown lists? Searchable Select automatically transforms classic HTML <select> elements on any website into powerful, searchable dropdowns with instant filtering.

Important: This extension works with traditional HTML select boxes (the standard <select> tag). It does not modify custom-built dropdown components created with divs, JavaScript libraries, or CSS-only solutions.
