Description
As there are more and more settings (as it goes …) the sidebar is a good filter mechanism. But even better would be if search would also work in the Personal and Admin settings.
You can see that work very nicely in Chrome settings search:
The full text inside there gets searched and only the matching sections are displayed. We can do it just like that for the Personal and Admin settings.
Especially for the now newly separated pages this would be good since you can not use Ctrl-F anymore. cc @blizzz
