Proposal

Please re-state the problem that we are trying to solve in this issue.

The selected category is not ticked in the search result.

What is the root cause of that problem?

In here, we don't insert isSelected: true based on whether the searched categories are selected.

What changes do you think we should make in order to solve the problem?

In here, we don't insert isSelected: true field to the result based on whether the searched categories are selected. We can check whether the searched categories are selected based on the selectedOptions params passed in.

Something like:

const searchCategories = enabledCategories.filter((category) => category.name.toLowerCase().includes(searchInputValue.toLowerCase())).map((category) => ({
    ...category,
    isSelected: selectedOptions.some((selectedOption) => selectedOption.name === category.name),
}));

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)

When the selected category matches the search result, currently it will not be in the 1st position by default, if we want it to be in the 1st position similar to non-search case, we can push it to top.

const searchCategories = enabledAndSelectedCategories.filter((category) => category.name.toLowerCase().includes(searchInputValue.toLowerCase()));

Proposal

Please re-state the problem that we are trying to solve in this issue.

Selected category is not ticked when it appears in the search result.

What is the root cause of that problem?

When we are searching for category, the getCategoryListSelection function does not preserve the isSelected flag which is responsible for showing the tick.

What changes do you think we should make in order to solve the problem?
We can find the loop through the selected options and find update the isSelected flag of the filtered object.

searchCategories.forEach(cat => {
            const selectedCatgory = selectedOptions.find(selectedCat => selectedCat.name === cat.name);
            if(selectedCatgory) {
                cat.isSelected = true;
            }
        });

The filter function is code block is located here:

App/src/libs/OptionsListUtils.ts

Lines 966 to 978 in cfa0ae3

	if (searchInputValue) {
	const searchCategories = enabledCategories.filter((category) => category.name.toLowerCase().includes(searchInputValue.toLowerCase()));
	categorySections.push({
	// "Search" section
	title: '',
	shouldShow: true,
	indexOffset,
	data: getCategoryOptionTree(searchCategories, true),
	});
	return categorySections;
	}

Removing the label as I don't think this needs to be a deploy blocker.
