Flux's searchable select now supports extra search terms with the `keywords` prop. Add it to an option to make that option easier to find without changing its label:

```blade
<flux:select.option value="fruit" keywords="apple orange pear">
    Fruit
</flux:select.option>
```

Now searching for “apple” finds “Fruit”, and “coffee” finds “Drinks”. The labels are still searchable too.

It's useful for abbreviations, alternate names, or related terms your users might reach for. Keywords work with the built-in filtering in searchable listboxes and comboboxes, using the same case-insensitive and accent-insensitive matching as labels.
