Form: SELECT that allows user input? 2

I'm pretty green at HTML, so this is probably easy:

I'm building a form that uses SELECT controls to allow the user to specify search criteria (from which I build a SQL query). The SELECT controls are themselves populated by a SQL query, but don't always have the exact search term my users want. So. . .

How can I keep the drop-down list of values, but allow my user to edit a selected value or type in a different value altogether?

Thanks for any insight you can offer!

You need two fields, the Select field that you already have, and a text input field. Just position them so as to make it look like one control.
 
Thanks for both replies! Have a star.
