TC-Options >> Search feature to find quicker the wanted Setting

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.

Configuration > Options: Here a field for quick search (quick filter); e.g. I enter "tab" --> I see all options with "tab" as a text in it. In the search result list I click on an entry --> I land up to the corresponding dialog.

Add a quick search field in Options

Total Commander has so many options that it can be easier to find an option by typing it in a quick search field, not by looking through all the categories. Can this be implemented in the future?

Of course it easier to ask than actually program this. Here is an example of the function in Reaper without new GUI frameworks. They are wizards of standard windows UI. The red outline is actually drawn on the dialog not added by me in a graphics editor. The search doesn't need to be "fuzzy" and guess what synonym was meant.
