Summary18462: Missing option to search for survey groups at list survey screen
Description

At larger systems with many survey groups, searching for a certain survey group name is not possible.
For adding languages or selecting a different survey owner there is a very nice feature which opens a dropdown with a search field (see screenshot). It would make perfect sense to apply this to the group filter dropdown at the "List surveys" screen as well.
This should be easy to implement and help users a lot.

Steps To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce

At the list surveys screen check the survey groups dropdown.

Expected result

Have a search field available at the dropdown to search for a special survey group.

Actual result

We only have a weirdly ordered dropdown with no search field.

TagsNo tags attached.

@gabrieljenik: I do not know the code details for applying a search field e.g. to "Survey admin" at the "General Settings". But is it difficult to apply this to any other dropdown at the interface?

New feature rather? Even if it's small.

@ollehar, many LS3 users would benefit from this and I do not think that you can actually break something when applying a search already used for other elements so we'd really appreciate if this could be seen as helpful UI improvement.
The adjustment should be really minor.

LS3 will not be LTS for much longer, so. Not sure we wanna waste money on that. Unless someone from the outside makes a PR, of course. Maybe the LS5 PR can be copied. :)

@ollehar: If you do the LS 5.x fix, we will take care of the LS 3.x PR.

Actual result
We only have a weirdly ordered dropdown with no search field.

Dropdown is ordered alphabetically now.

What you ask is adding a Select2 feature to the current dropdown, so you can search through the dropdown items more easily, right?

I will leave @ollehar to say if we can move forward with it.

If adding it, I would also add it to the survey copying screen, to the dropdown to select a survey

That makes sense, @gabrieljenik!
