Search for values in form

I have value map widgets with various lists like tree species, I would like to be able to allow users to type a few letters to find a value rather than browsing. I have seen a video showing this behaviour with a magnifying glass but can’t get it to work. Not sure if I am using the wrong widget or if they are not configured correctly

In QGis>layer properties>attribute form,
available with “value relation” widget and tick “use completer” checkbox

Thanks, the value relation widget is much better, sadly even when I have “use completer” ticked the search doesn’t show up in Qfield - it does in QGIS but not on either of my Qfield testing devices.
After some more testing it does work but only if multiple selections isn’t ticked

from reading that discussion it seems the answer is you can only use the search/ completer for single values at present
