Select2 Search Metronic HTML on laravel not working

Hello,

I hope you can help me.

I have been trying to figure out how i can make the search option on select2 work but i can't seem to find a way.

Here's the html code :

<select class="form-select" data-control="select2"
 data-placeholder="Select an option" data-dropdown parent="#modal_element_id" tabindex="-1">
 <option></option>
 <option value="1">Option 1</option>
 <option value="2">Option 2</option>
</select>

and i imported the styles and scripts successfully. But the search bar is not showing up.

How can I fix this ? Thanks in advance.
