    Are you able to send me a live link/URL to your search page so I can take a look?

    You want a dropdown select box showing the titles of the posts?

    Yes I do Trevor, exactly. I think it could be done using an ACF field in which duplicating my title manually, but if there is a better solution I’m with you. Thank you!

    That is what I would do, but I would add some code in the child theme functions.php file to hook in to the WordPress save_post() function to automatically copy the title across as posts are saved.

    Hi Trevor,
    could you explain shortly what is a code I can use in my case?
    Right now I’ve tried the ACF field and is ok.

    Thank you!

    I do not have any examples/snippets for you, so you would need to rely on Internet sources, like this search should give you some ideas:
