Advanced Select

by a Certified Developer

Make Drop Down and Multi Select fields beautiful, flexible, searchable, extensible, and capable of dynamically populating massive datasets.

Advanced Select

Turn massive lists into searchable, accessible fields.

Advanced Select keeps any Drop Down, Multi Select, or Address field fast and searchable, whether it holds a dozen choices or even thousands.

Searchable choice lists

Type a few letters and the list narrows to matching choices.

Thousands of choices

With Populate Anything, choices load as users search and scroll.

Keyboard and screen readers

Search, select, and remove choices without touching a mouse.

Images beside each choice

Pair with JetSloth’s Image Choices to show a photo per option.

Large datasets

Search Massive Datasets Without Slowing Down

Populate Anything pulls field choices from posts, users, or nearly any other source. Pair it with Advanced Select to search through thousands of them instantly, loading more only as you scroll.

Searching hundreds of products instantly in a live-filtered dropdown field

  • Type to filter. Choices narrow as users type, in Drop Down, Multi Select, and Address fields.
  • Load only what matches. Filter populated choices by the search value to get past Populate Anything’s default 500-result limit.
  • Infinite scroll. Results load 50 at a time as users scroll.
  • Lazy loading. Populated choices load when someone opens the field, not when the page loads.

Image choices

See Every Choice with Images

Pair Advanced Select with JetSloth’s Image Choices, and every option gets a photo or icon instead of plain text.

Browsing a product dropdown with a photo shown next to each item

  • Requires Image Choices. It’s a separate plugin from JetSloth.
  • Drop Down and Multi Select. Show an image with every choice in either field type.
  • Images for populated choices. With Populate Anything, map an image URL to each dynamic choice.

Accessibility

Fully Accessible by Keyboard or Screen Reader

Filter, select, and remove choices by keyboard alone, with full screen reader support.

Typing to search and select a team member from a searchable dropdown using only the keyboard

  • Keyboard navigation. Focus the field, filter, move through choices, and remove selections without a mouse.
  • Screen reader support. Users who rely on screen readers can search and select choices.
  • Mobile-ready. Search works just as well on phones and tablets, whether you’re tapping or clicking.
  • Theme Framework compatible. Works with Gravity Forms’ Theme Framework styles.
