My goal here is to create a form that:

1. Generates a dropdown menu from the select options I have created in ACF
2. Generate an input field where someone can do a search if the dropdown select option is not what they want to use
3. Generate a submit button that will query the database.
4. Set up the Query to accept the input variables from the dropdown list and input field
5. Upon submit, the Query is run and returns the results I am after

My logic would tell me that the first thing I need to do is create a front end form that will dynamically create a dropdown menu as well as an input field so this is where I begin.
