fix(search): add null-check in dropdown hide handler (#3983)

# Description of Changes

- **What was changed**  
- Added a null-check on `dropdownMenu` in the document click handler to
prevent errors when the menu element is not present.

- **Why the change was made**  
- To guard against potential runtime errors if `dropdownMenu` is `null`.

```js
search.js:126 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'classList')
    at HTMLDocument.<anonymous> (search.js:126:60)
(anonymous)	@	search.js:126
```
