Currently the search of dropdown macros or values through the Confluence Advanced Search is not supported. However, you can search them using CQL (Confluence Query Language) in the Advanced Search.
The basic URL looks like the following:
https://<your-instance>.atlassian.net/wiki/search
You can then append a cql query to the URL.
Search for Pages Containing an EDM Macro
Use the macro query to find pages containing a specific Easy Dropdown Menu macro.
Example:
https://<your-instance>.atlassian.net/wiki/search?cql=macro="edm-menu-predefined"

When to Use This
Use CQL search when you need quick filtering across the whole instance without creating a Page Property Report page.
For dashboards and structured tables, the Page Property Report is usually the better option.
