Research direction

The issue does not identify a file, test, or entry point. First locate the context-menu implementation and determine how it decides when to show a search box; clarify the intended item-count threshold and affected menus with the maintainers. Done means the search box is absent for smaller menus and remains available when the menu is large enough to need it.
