Select 2 library conflict

The search page stops working because of conflicts with Select 2. I’m getting the error:

Uncaught Error: No select2/compat/initSelection
    at j (select2.min.js?ver=5.8.3:1:1545)

    at s.fn.init.a.fn.select2 (select2.min.js?ver=5.8.3:1:64694)

In our case it appears that both Freshdesk & PublishPress also use select 2 and it’s causing a conflict as a result.

It seems as if you’ve known this has been a bug for over a year:
