Description

Can the 'Search and select an existing contact' dropdown box from the 'Add a new relationship' form also be used for the 'Has someone introduced you' dropdown on the 'How did you meet' form?

I'm only at 175 contacts and it's very frustrating trying to select someone to the 'Has someone introduced you' field.

Research direction
The issue requests replacing the current dropdown in the 'How did you meet' form with the same searchable dropdown used in 'Add a new relationship'. To start, locate the existing searchable dropdown component (likely in resources/js/components/) and identify where the 'Has someone introduced you' field is rendered (perhaps in a blade template or Vue component). Study how the searchable dropdown is implemented and see if it can be reused by passing appropriate props. Also check if any backend changes are needed to support the same endpoint for searching contacts.
