If you change it to a drop down, people cannot enter their search term anymore?

Have a look here: http://wpgeo.directory/hotels/
Click on Customize My Search and you will find the categories drop down towards the bottom.

You have to add the desired fields by going to custom fields,
open the category field,
scrolling to the bottom,
and tick “include this field in filter”,
that will add it to the “advanced search” tab.

Let us know how you go, or if you need a hand.

Once that is activated, you should have that option there:

GD > Place settings > field: category (taxonomy)

In Advance Search tab: Click on any box below to make it appear in advance search form on Place listing and search results.
So click to move it to the right and make it active.

Then go to the Sort tab.
