Search result doesnt display products when category name is used for searching

[bhuvana-lingam]

What are you trying to accomplish? Please describe.
We want to display products under a specific category in the search results page when user enters category name in the search bar.
What have you tried so far?

1. Added 'vtex.search-result' as dependency in manifest.json.
2. Added the Search Result to page templates.
   "store.search": {
   "blocks": ["search-result-layout"]
   }
3. Defined how the search query data should be fetched
   "store.search#category": {
   "blocks": ["search-result-layout"],
   "props": {
   "context": {
   "skusFilter": "FIRST_AVAILABLE",
   "simulationBehavior": "skip"
   }
   }
   },
4. Followed all the steps in https://vtex.io/docs/components/all/[email protected]/
