To work on this bug:

• Run npm install at the root of the repository to install all parts of blockly-samples
• cd to plugins/toolbox-search
• Run npm run start to open a playground and verify that the toolbox search plugin works for you
• Make code changes (see below)
• Verify that the changes work in the playground as expected

The code that searches block text is in indexBlocks in src/block_searcher.ts. Lines 31-32 loop over every filed and call indexBlockText(field.getText()).

• Update this call to check if the field is a dropdown, and call indexBlockText for every option in the dropdown menu.
• Update matchBlocks in src/toolbox_search.ts to set the value of the dropdown based on the query, if it doesn't match the default text on the block.

To verify, find a block with a dropdown (such as one of the math blocks) and do a search for a non-default value that is contained in the dropdown.

https://github.com/sammitako and I have been working on this during the GHC OSD and would like to continue on finishing it. Can we both get assigned to this issue? Thanks!

I think I have to tag @sammitako in order to assign to her. Let's see if this works.

Thank you!

Work still to be done: Select the proper option in the dropdown when searching.
