Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

It can be hard to find a block in the toolbox, even when you know which block you want.

Describe the solution you'd like

A Search category in the toolbox with a text field. The user types in the text field and the blocks in the flyout update in response.

Describe alternatives you've considered

The text field could be in either the category name or the flyout for the category.

Additional context

APIs needed in core Blockly:

  • Ability to import a toolbox category and use it with your own toolbox
  • (Possibly needed) Ability to add arbitrary UI elements in the toolbox category menu
