Plugins: Reset category selection when searching

[WBerredo]

Fixes #66938

Proposed Changes

When searching on the plugins browser input:

• Assure it's on the main Plugins page before constructing the URL with the search param. If not, first redirect to the main Plugins page.
• When on a category page, reset breadcrumbs to allow them to be reconstructed only with the search

Testing Instructions

• On this branch
• Go to the /plugins page
• Select a category
• Search any term on the input
• The URL should NOT contain the category term
• Click on the X button on the input
• It should redirect to the main Plugins page
• On production the behavior should be the same as described here: Plugin Search behavior seems unintuitive when under a category #66938

Here is how your PR affects size of JS and CSS bundles shipped to the user's browser:

Sections (~22 bytes added 📈 [gzipped])

name                             parsed_size           gzip_size
plugins                               +134 B  (+0.0%)      +22 B  (+0.0%)
jetpack-cloud-plugin-management       +134 B  (+0.0%)      +22 B  (+0.0%)

Sections contain code specific for a given set of routes. Is downloaded and parsed only when a particular route is navigated to.

What is parsed and gzip size?

Parsed Size: Uncompressed size of the JS and CSS files. This much code needs to be parsed and stored in memory.
Gzip Size: Compressed size of the JS and CSS files. This much data needs to be downloaded over network.

Approving, but with a semi-strong suggestion to revise the E2E changes to use a safer method. If you feel strongly that it's not necessary, it's fine to merge and deploy - but please do keep an eye on TeamCity failure statistics for the step.

This works as described! The url and the breadcrumb do not contain the category when doing a search which is great.

Additionally, I have found that when you have a site selected, doing a search term removes the site selection and changes to All sites.

Is that expected?

Thanks for addressing the previous comment so promptly! 🙌

While testing again, I found a new scenario I would like to discuss with you. When searching and selecting a category after the search, the breadcrumb remains with the Search Results value that can be clicked. When clicking it, it performs the search again but does not include the searched term in the text box.

What do you think about that scenario?

My previous comment is existing behavior and it has been reported as a different issue here:

• Marketplace: Plugin search and selecting categories keep the search term in the breadcrumb #79017

Thanks for adding E2E tests 💯
I have tested it, and it works as advertised. LGTM! 🚢
