I have a patch to replace the searchable select implementation with
select2 which seems to work well, but still needs comprehensive
testing. I think it may address this problem. If anyone is interested
in trying it:

Hi,
I have a 'select' tag in a tool's XML file, ... when the number of options
exceeds 20, then drop down menu of the web interface displays Click to
Select or Search ... Why the behavior changed when there are 20 options
or more for a drop down menu?
Thanks,
Luobin
The drop down list becomes very hard to use with lots of entries (for
example we have lots of local BLAST databases offered to the user),
and in that situation the search works really well.
So for most cases, the search system is much more user friendly.
You have a special case wanting a blank entry in the list, there may
be a better way to handle that. One idea might be to use a caption
like DEFAULT instead of an empty string?
