    Hi,

    Any snippets to include the default select2 search field at the top of a category list – could ease the selection for a lot of categories.

    I tried this jquery but it is not enabling the search…

    
      jQuery('#gd_placecategory').on('select2:opening select2:closing', function( event ) {
            var $searchfield = $(this).parent().find('.select2-search__field');
            $searchfield.prop('disabled', false);
        });

    The developers will take a look at your idea when they get back to the office, probably Monday. They will let you know if there is an easy solution for that.

    Hi, gowrann

    The select2 input element becomes the search box for multiple selects.
    Just type in the input box, you will notice the option get shorted as you type.

    As Naveen mentions, this input already works as a search, simply start typing the cat name. You can edit the field description to make this more clear if you wish.
