Description

filtered format uses the select 2 library in Version 4.0.3. which is 10 years old

https://github.com/SemanticMediaWiki/SemanticResultFormats/blob/a275fb2e3b1d8d2e650188b181d26d4a0c1b07f1/formats/filtered/resources/js/ext.srf.filtered.select.js#L2

Therefore it should be upgraded to 4.1.0 (or later).
