Ok, partly answered my own question. The developer figured out that
command+DownArrow reveals this menu. Why I can't discover the menu using
VO is still an issue since who would think to try and command+down if VO
didn't say there was a drop down menu. I've put an email in to Apple
accessibility on this.

I'm working with a developer to make a product accessible and we were
testing a standard search widget. I can access all the usual stuff but
apparently there is a dropdown menu in these widgets where you can
select options like ignore case or wrap around. No matter what I tried
I could not get to the drop down menu and he claimed that it's a bug
in OSX. So we pulled up Text Edit which has the same search widget and
I couldn't access the drop down menu there either. Is there some
secret way to get access to it? In TextEdit you can hit command-F for
find, type something in and interact with the widget to locate the
text you typed, the clear/cancel button and then a number showing how
many instances of what you typed show up. What I can't reach is the
drop-down control which is to the left of the text. I can't reasonably
ask him to fix it if the control itself is broken from Apple. Any
hints or tips?
