Hello friends, today in this blog, we will learn how to create a custom select input with a search option in HTML, CSS, and Javascript. In our previous blog, we saw [how to create a responsive image lightbox design using HTML, CSS, and Vanilla Javascript](https://incoderweb.blogspot.com/2022/04/responsive-image-lightbox-design.html). Now it's time to create a custom select input with a search option. If you are interested then you can check my other javascript projects after reading this blog. [My javascript blogs](https://incoderweb.blogspot.com/search/label/Javascript).

The custom select menu is a dropdown menu that allows users to select or choose a particular option that is predefined. In this menu, there is a select input with a search box as you can see in the image above.
