Contributor guide
Research direction
Reproduce the issue by installing Jetpack Search with a Search plan and visiting /wp-admin/widgets.php while monitoring requests. Trace where Instant Search is initialized for this admin page; done means the page no longer makes a request to the Jetpack Search endpoint, while front-end Instant Search remains active.
