Research direction

Reproduce the issue on WordPress 5.9 or higher with a Jetpack Search subscription, then open /wp-admin/widgets.php and add the Jetpack Search widget to the Jetpack Search Sidebar. Compare the block-based editor preview with the rendered widget on the site; done means the preview is similar to the live appearance.
