Using pre-populated drop down in search builder for server side processing using editor libs

Hello.
I have implemented data tables using server side processing with the editor libs, and I'm trying to set one of my columns to provide a drop down list rather than a text field.
I was looking at the following thread - https://datatables.net/forums/discussion/71962/searchbuilder-ssp-dropdown-value, but have not seen anything else which might help me achieve this.
The list relates to a set of values for the state of a booking record, and this will always be a finite list of 4 options.
Is there any development on this, and if so, can you link to any resources which might explain how to set it up please?
I'm at a bit of a loss as to where to go from here so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks

Are you actually using SearchBuilder? Perhaps you should be looking at this instead:
https://datatables.net/examples/api/multi_filter_select.html
In the end, I have decided to just purchase an Editor licence.
For the price and what is included, it's a bit of a no brainer really.
Thank you for the link though, I suspect that is going to prove useful though I won't know untile I've got Editor running properly which given the mess I've made of my source structure while testing things, that could take a few hours.
Thank you - I got Editor up and going last night, and revisited the multi filter select. It will do pretty much what I need, other than allowing search between two dates, but I can work around that.
