Description

# Description of the new feature/enhancement
The actions list in the action settings dialog is large, and it's difficult to search for a specific item, so It would be useful to have some search feature, such as an input dialog which allows filter them by name.

# Proposed technical implementation details (optional)
Add an input dialog at the top of the dialog which filters the actions list as the user typing.
