Follow up for #1801304-313: Add Entity reference field → Task C

Problem/Motivation

Click it and get a modal. in Modal, still autocomplete widget message problem. Still says search fields. I don't really understand what "Search field" means. It seems to think I know more about how this is implemented under the hood than I currently do. Can you explain this, and we can try and come up with a better word?

Proposed resolution

Correct "autocomplete" wording.
Also, come up with better word for Search fields.

Remaining tasks

Discuss wording options.

User interface changes

No UI pattern changes.

API changes

No API changes expected.

FEEDBACK:
(minor) This is not an autocomplete widget; it's a select list. So the description is incorrect.

    Thank you for creating this issue to improve Drupal.

    We are working to decide if this task is still relevant to a currently supported version of Drupal. There hasn't been any discussion here for over 8 years which suggests that this has either been implemented or is no longer relevant. Your thoughts on this will allow a decision to be made.

    Since we need more information to move forward with this issue, the status is now Postponed (maintainer needs more info). If we don't receive additional information to help with the issue, it may be closed after three months.

    Thanks!
