Product attribute has issue on searching when type is dropdown

[estellehuang]

Preconditions and environment

Magento 2.4.6-p3

Steps to reproduce

1. Add a product attribute, set Catalog Input Type for Store Owner to dropdown and set Use in Search to YES
2. Add several options for the new attribute
3. Add product and select option for this attribute
4. Search value of the attribute on frontend, you can get the expected result
5. Go to admin panel and set Use in Search to NO for this new attribute
6. Run indexer:reindex and clear cache
7. Search value of the attribute on frontend, you can still get the result. The attribute can still be searched.

Expected result

After setting Use in Search to NO, the attribute can't be searched.

Actual result

After setting Use in Search to NO, the attribute can still be searched.

Additional information

After applying the patch ACSD-50887_2.4.5-p1.patch, the above issue could be fixed. But the new issue occurs on searching SKU.

For example, a product's sku is 406A-1. If I search using 406A-1, I got nothing. But if I search using 406A, I could get the result. Before applying the patch, when I search using 406A-1, I could search the expected product.
