# Combobox: Search inside the popup

> Use `<ComboboxTrigger />` for a select-like field. Put the input inside `<ComboboxContent />` and it becomes a search box with an icon, and the popup widens to at least 15rem.

Example: https://hextaui.com/docs/combobox/examples/popup-search
Component docs: https://hextaui.com/docs/combobox.md

## Add this example

```bash
npx shadcn@latest add https://hextaui.com/r/combobox-popup-search.json

This adds `components/examples/combobox/popup-search.tsx` with the Combobox component and the HextaUI theme tokens.
