Configuration - Options screen: search through configuration

[mtemp2]

because there are not too many pages in TC options

You must be kidding
Of course there is enough complexity in configuration. to justify a search.

This is the gold standard when it comes to search in settings:

Hello,

TC provides ton of settings. It would be nice to allow search them.
If I can search date format displayed in column, but IDK where to find that setting.
I have to search in Help or try to find it yourself. I suggest to create search/filter settings function.
Open settings and type "date" in search box. I get list of section with all date settings.

Suggested search function:

Yes, I know:
1. This has been requested before
https://www.ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?t=34451&hilit=search+configuration
https://www.ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?t=45179&hilit=search+configuration
2. Ultra TC Configuration
3. The Choose Command
4. Searching within the Help file

If you want more people to use the product, making it easier to get started could be useful. A search facility in Configuration could help that goal.

You can make a search in the help, which describes all the configuration options.

I, myself, am leaning toward the Help either.

Reasoning:
- That's what I am used to do when a tool is not intuitive enough and common sense fails.
- Help feeds you with tons of supportive information and guidance in a human-friendly format.

That would be the bee's knees. I know, as it isn't here yet, it will likely never materialize.
