It requires JavaScript development.

Search the forum for "autocomplete".
There are many examples.

Or go to the "workaround (javascript)" section of the manual.

Look at the select2 minimumInputLength option - select2.org/configuration/options-api

That was your first requirement

i need search option for both and don't show the inner list  when search any 1st 1 to 2 letter then data related option will be visible

Remember: One or two letters

Now you write

if type any word then that word related text will be shown

Now you talk about "words". So you want to type a word first?

Well, if you really searched the forum or the workaround section you found this to insert an autocomplete in a question of type "short text".
[url][/url]

As this workaround is a few years old, we have to insert the "jquery-ui" files. Either you download them and add them to your theme or you insert from cdn
Code:
<link href="//code.jquery.com/ui/1.12.1/themes/base/jquery-ui.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.12.1/jquery-ui.js"></script>


Then the script itself - really short
Code:
$(document).on('ready pjax:complete',function() {
    $('#question{QID} input[type="text"]').autocomplete({
      minLength: 5,
      source: [
          "Peter Gunn",
          "Alfred Miller",
          "Peter Bond",
          "Alice Miller",
          "Peter Stuyvesant",
          "Carol King"
       ]
    });
  });
</script>

And here we get a result only after at least 5 characters are entered (minlength)
 
 
 

This is fine up to about 300 elements.

If there are many more - I talk about thousands and thousands - you may use the solution with the csv file.
Here you need additionally this script
Code:
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery-csv/1.0.11/jquery.csv.min.js"></script>


and the script itself is changed to
Code:
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
  $(document).on('ready pjax:complete',function() {
    
    var url = "https://www.myserver.de/myFolder/myFile.csv"; // or the "files" folder of the survey
    var Names = new Array();
 
    $.get(url,function(data){
      fullArray = $.csv.toArrays(data);
 
      $(fullArray).each(function(i, item){
        Names.push(item[0]);
      });
 
      $("#question{QID} input[type=text]").autocomplete({
           minLength: 2,
           source: Names
      });
    });
  });
</script>


So it's up to you to set the amount of characters before the autocomplete is fired.

But nevertheless there are other options.
Have a look at the library "easy-autocomplete" (just google it) or Denis' autocomplete plugin
[url] gitlab.com/SondagesPro/QuestionSettingsType/autoComplete [/url]


But as long as you seem to be unable to show a realistic example of your wishes it is really hard to help you.

In my opinion : the best one today are gitlab.com/SondagesPro/QuestionSettingsT...tQuestionByResponses : more quick (read by DB), you can easily manage the list via admin GUI, etc …
