Description

Can't search for variables and function blocks using search in any target.

Repro:

  • Try to search for set variable or change variable in the blocks or monaco toolbox.
  • Cannot find it.

Same thing happens when you try and search for a function.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the search in the blocks and Monaco toolbox for “set variable,” “change variable,” and a function. Trace the editor’s search entry point and compare the results with available blocks; done means variable and function blocks appear in search for every target.
