How To Have The Combobox work on mobile

So I like this plugin.

When I had everything just like I need it I checked how it reacted on mobile and realized that the Make Combobox for taxonomy was a long list someone would have to scroll through vs on desktop where the user can type and it pulls up matches.

Is there a way for the type or combobox to work on mobile?

Also is there a way to tell what the Search box is pulling from (title of post, custom fields, etc)

It is theoretically possible, but you would need a coder’s help. If, in our plugin’s Settings page (not the form itself) you have not already done so, change the Combobox script from Chosen to Select2. 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.

Go to wp-admin -> Search & Filter -> Settings -> Combobox Script

Change this from Chosen to Select2

The Select2 script is then available for you to apply to the form. 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. In the next version of our plugin, we will switch to Select2 as the default.
