## Ask a question
I would like to ask for a clearer distinction between the `Select` and `Combobox` components.
The documentation suggests that we should "consider `Combobox` over `Select` for handling large amounts of data." However, this guideline feels a bit ambiguous on its own, as there are other significant differences in the features and anatomy of the two components.
For example, I want to implement a "Clear" feature on a `` component to deselect all items. I noticed that `Combobox` provides this out-of-the-box, but `Select` does not, which requires a manual implementation as a controlled component.
This leads me to a couple of questions:
1. For a use case where a **`Clear` feature is desired but text filtering is not needed**, is it still recommended to use `Combobox` over `Select`?
2. Alternatively, are there any plans to **add a built-in `Clear` feature to the `Select` component** in the future?
Thank you for your guidance on this.
