Editor is working perfect with option as select to pick some possibilities.
Although, when the list becomes too large, we prefer to have a search function here.
Is this possible?

    Not with the built in select field type, since that just uses a simple select.

    However, there are a couple of options:

    1. Use a datatable field type with server-side processing to search records.
    2. Use a library such as Select2. We do have a plug-in for Select2 to work with Editor.
    3. Add a text input field and bind your own Ajax call to it, then use field().update() to update the list of options as they come in.
