Contributor guide
Research direction
Reproduce the issue by configuring a Jetpack Search filter at /wp-admin/widgets.php, then open the front-end search modal at ?s=. Trace how the configured filters move from the block widget editor to the modal; done means the added filters are displayed on the front end.
