## Problem

When filter dropdowns have many options (e.g., labels, projects, assignees), users must scan through the entire list to find the option they want.

## Current Behavior

Filter dropdowns display a static list of checkboxes. Users must scroll and visually scan to find desired options.

## Expected Behavior

Add a 'Filter...' text input at the top of filter dropdown menus that:
1. Filters the visible options as the user types
2. Matches against option text (case-insensitive)
3. Shows all options when the filter input is empty

## Reference

See attached screenshot showing Linear's implementation with a 'Filter...' input at the top of their status filter dropdown.

## Scope

Apply to filter dropdowns that can have many options:
- Label filter (can have many labels)
- Project filter (can have many projects)
- Assignee filter (can have many assignees)
- Tag filter (can have many tags)

Consider whether to apply to:
- Status filter (fixed set of ~9 options - may not need it)
- Priority filter (fixed set of 4 options - may not need it)

## Acceptance Criteria

- Filter dropdown shows 'Filter...' text input at top
- Typing in the input filters visible options in real-time
- Filter matching is case-insensitive
- Empty filter input shows all options
- Filter input does not affect which options are checked
- Clearing the input restores full list
- Works consistently across all applicable filter dropdowns

## Feature Triage Complete **Status:** PARTIALLY IMPLEMENTED **Summary:** The codebase already has a `PropertyDropdown` component with searchable dropdown capability (used for inline table cell editing). However, the header filter dropdowns (status, priority, label, project, assignee) use a simpler implementation without search. The feature request is to add type-to-filter functionality to these header filter dropdowns. **Implementation Location:** - Add filter input HTML to `server/templates/partials/issues_table.html` (and similar) - Add `filterDropdownOptions()` JavaScript function to `base.html` - Add CSS styling for filter input to `base.html` **Complexity:** Low - straightforward implementation following existing patterns (~50-100 lines of code) **Scope:** Apply to Label, Project, Assignee filters initially. Status and Priority filters can be added later if needed (4-9 options are manageable without search). See attached triage report document for full technical details.
