This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
A select custom field lists all countries as options, but only some of these have been applied to posts. When creating a search View how to only include those countries in the filter dropdown which have been assigned to posts.
Solution:
In the Custom Search Settings select "Let me choose settings manually" and then choose "Show only available options for each input".

Hi Martin
There is a setting in your View which will limit the options to only those applied to posts, see the screenshot.
In WordPress taxonomies are optimised for queries in a way that custom fields are not, but you are only likely to notice the difference on large sites with thousands of posts being queried.
