Comment:

 That search plugin is great when faced with a menu containing a very large
 number of items, but would seem to be overkill in instances where the menu
 is exceeding the size of the screen by only a few lines, particularly in
 examples where the menu fits on a regular screen, but is obscured on
 smaller mobile devices. Wouldn't a better solution be to allow for the
 menu to scroll? As noted by @Rarst, this issue rears its head not only in
 the My Sites menu, but also in other menus like the Profile on the right,
 in instances where plugins like BuddyPress add additional items that can
 exceed the size of the screen: a space where a search window wouldn't
 remedy the UI issue (see video: http://www.screencast.com/t/siMIp5PJDDL).

 I don't think limiting the number of items displayed is necessarily the
 route that would remedy all of the varied instances in which this issue
 might occur. On smaller screens (smartphones particularly), the dashboard
 content is completely obscured by the resulting dropdown menu, making the
 scrolling of that dashboard content -- hidden behind the menu -- of little
 use. From a UI perspective, if I am attempting to scroll when on top of
 the menu, one can assume I am trying to scroll the menu content, and not
 the content beneath the menu.
