Bring Back Search For Dynamic Attribute & Events Picker

[sid]

Continuing the discussion from Add delay to property inspector dropdowns (and include search form) because Teodor marked it as completed:

Summary: With version 5, the visual pickers which used to have a simple search for adding events and attributes along with limited keyboard support, have been replaced with Mouse-only menu/sub-menu UI

We are already looking for ways to integrate search filtering in context menus so should have both of both worlds.
