Description

In a large mod's config, global search is essential to allow users to find the options they want without having to individually search for every category. I propose that global search be added using a system similar to the one the creative inventory uses, where a separate tab would contain the ability to search every option. In terms of implementation, I see this tab just creating a synthetic category with all the options already in the screen. The presence of this tab could also potentially be configured by mods. (I'm actually more envisioning this is brought up by a separate button, not actually another tab in the tab navigation).

Research direction

No file or test is named. Start by locating the creative inventory search implementation and the config screen's category or tab navigation; determine how a synthetic category could expose every option and whether a separate button is preferable. Done means users can search all options globally and mods can configure whether the entry point is present.
