Description
I can't search for "C++" in the settings window and get meaningful results.
I can, however, search for "L+i+n+e+a+r S+w+e+e+p+" and get results for "Linear Sweep".
I'd like to be able to search for "C++," and I think it's safe to break the existing behavior.

Research direction
Start by locating the settings-window search entry point and how it handles queries such as "C++" and "Linear Sweep". Determine where a regex-search toggle would belong, then verify that the requested query produces meaningful results without breaking the documented existing behavior.
