The reason why it doesn't work when you select "Edit>Menu search" is because it's only searching the menus in the top part of Blender. This is because the new search system seems to be editor sensitive.

So technically this system is working as intended, but I personally believe the "Edit>Menu search" option shouldn't operate on the top bar.

I have messaged @WilliamReynish about this in #74157#917928

Thanx for mentioning this in #74157 (Use menus for operator search & various improvements) @Alaska
Lets continue discussion there, think there is no need to keep a separate report open for this.
(I can confirm though that this is an issue that should get resolved....)
