AI-generated from the code · Odoo 18.0

Adds searchable, feature-rich dropdowns to select boxes on Odoo websites and portals. Dropdowns with at least six options automatically become searchable, so visitors can type to find an option instead of scrolling.

This module changes how dropdown (select) fields behave on public website and portal pages. Instead of a plain list, visitors get a searchable box where they can start typing to filter the available choices.

  • It applies automatically to select boxes that contain at least six options, so short lists stay as normal dropdowns.
  • A select box can be forced to use the enhanced behaviour even with fewer options by adding the select2-force class.
  • A select box can be excluded from the enhancement by adding the select2-disable class.
  • The look and feel follows the Bootstrap 5 theme used by the website, so the searchable boxes blend in with the rest of the page.
  • Extra options for a specific select box can be supplied through a select2-options data attribute on the element.

It does not add any new menus, database models, reports, emails or scheduled actions. It only affects the front-end presentation of existing select fields on website and portal pages, and it depends on the web module. Because the module only ships front-end assets and a public widget, no back-office screens are changed.
