Research direction

Start by locating the search UI that uses the combobox and trace how a selected result is passed into search. Confirm the current key-handling behavior, then replace the select-oriented combobox with a dialog while preserving search and selection behavior; the issue names no files or tests to run.

Description

accessibility bug

FAustjs search needs some work. We used a combobox that's designed to drive a select. Because of this your selected result is passed to "search" and we're manually doing a bunch of key handling and such that simple HTML should do.

Combobox can be replaced with a dialog.
