Description
Feature request
Make "County name" a searchable/typeahead component in the geography input, rather than a plain dropdown or free-text field. The underlying county variable has a more confusing UI and should remain overridable once this lands.
Why this matters
Geographic/county selection is part of the household and regional-analysis flow. With 3,000+ US counties, a searchable component (type-to-filter) is materially easier to use than scrolling a long list.
Migrated from policyengine-app#2604.

Research direction
Locate the geography input and the underlying county variable, then trace how county choices are currently rendered and overridden. Implement the searchable/typeahead behavior for the 3,000+ US counties and verify that the county variable remains overridable after selection.
