Try typeahead in http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml_select_size . Usually you would be able to type the first letters of an item and get to it. Now each keystroke is considered as an independent search. This seems to work with WK1 and with size=1 (combobox case).

I am not sure whether this is WKGTK specific, though, but haven't really tried other ports.
