Ah, that we have little or no control over. Let me explain, and then offer a ‘Select’ replacement script as a possible solution (used by many themes).
One of the reasons so many themes/sites use ‘Select’ replacement scripts is that much of the formatting of standard select controls is done by the browser, and so you have little or no control over that.
The Chosen script is included with/used by our plugin by default. However, it is now pretty much abandoned and has not received any major updates in a long time. It has poor support for iOS devices for example.
In the current version of our plugin, there is an option in our settings page to choose which (Combobox) script to use. If you change this to Select2, that script is then available for you to apply to the form (see below for how). Select2 is maintained now by the WooCommerce team, who are, of course, owned by Automattic, the owners of WordPress, and as such is used by a lot of themes and plugins.
If you want the select box with a search box at the top, you need to add this JavaScript to the page:
<script>
(function ( $ ) {
$(document).on("sf:ajaxfinish", ".searchandfilter", function(){
$('select.sf-input-select').select2();
});
}(jQuery));
jQuery(document).ready(function($){
$('select.sf-input-select').select2();
});
</script>
If you want it without the search box at the top of the select boxes, then this:
<script>
(function ( $ ) {
$(document).on("sf:ajaxfinish", ".searchandfilter", function(){
$('select.sf-input-select').select2({minimumResultsForSearch: -1});
});
}(jQuery));
jQuery(document).ready(function($){
$('select.sf-input-select').select2({minimumResultsForSearch: -1});
});
</script>
This post shows the complete Select2 CSS that we already include in our plugin:

At the end is an example of how to modify it.
