Search Within LaunchBox Preferences

📋 Summary

Add a search bar to LaunchBox preferences, allowing users to quickly locate specific settings without manually browsing through every category.


Problem

LaunchBox has a large and growing number of configuration options, but currently:

  • Users must manually navigate through many tabs and categories to find a setting

  • It can be difficult to remember where a specific option lives

  • New users especially may struggle to locate certain preferences

Many modern applications provide a search function in their settings to solve this problem.


💡 Proposal

Add a search field at the top of the Options / Preferences window that:

  • Filters settings based on keywords

  • Highlights or jumps directly to matching options

  • Shows results across all preference categories


📦 Benefits

  • Makes settings much easier to discover and access

  • Reduces time spent navigating through menus

  • Improves usability for both new and experienced users

  • Aligns LaunchBox with modern application UX patterns


💡 Notes

  • Results could display as a filtered list or jump directly to the relevant section

  • Should search setting names and possibly descriptions

  • Existing navigation structure would remain unchanged
