Tell us what you are trying to do?
Add a default "Please Select One" option to the "Expertise" select menu on search form. It would be the default selection and when selected, it would not alter the search.

No.
Is there a similar example that we can see?
No

Hi there,
In the code that you shared, please change:
[wpv-control-postmeta field="wpcf-areas-of-practice" type="select" url_param="areas-of-practice" style="width: 100%"]
to:
[wpv-control-postmeta default_label="Please Select One" field="wpcf-areas-of-practice" type="select" url_param="areas-of-practice" style="width: 100%"]
I added the attribute below to have a default value:
default_label="Please Select One"
Thank you.
