Description

With regards to #509 @djaiss commented

I'm a bit hesitant about it. On one hand it's great, on the other hand I'm afraid that the dropdown will be just too huge and hard to process. That being said, perhaps we can still do it and see how it's used on a daily basis.

We could introduce something like https://select2.github.io/examples.html for all dropdowns.

What do you think?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Look into using Select2 or a similar JavaScript library to add search functionality to all dropdowns. Check the existing dropdown implementations in the codebase and plan how to replace or enhance them with the library. Consider backend implications if server side processing is needed for large dropdowns.
