If a search returns no results, is there a way to make the dropdown default to an option labelled "Other" rather than the "No results match..." message?

This is for a country dropdown, but we don't want to list every single country. When the Other option is selected, an event will make a text field visible beneath the dropdown for the user to type their country (just to explain the context!)

Thanks
