I'm using selectric - plugin for replacing select in forms and I'm struggling with the add search option, sadly this plugin does not come with such a feature.
I got to the point where I can create an input over label and refresh options after typing something, but it does not work as I expect. I got to this point:

The issue is as you click the input, the whole select closes.
