 Can we get the ability to search through the settings tabs for a particular setting?

In KVIRC, there's a search box feature which "live"-searches all the settings sections, highlighting which section/sub-section a particular word is found under.

With the number of features and abilities that AWM has, it'd be helpful to have a quick way to find a setting. I know that, even being a power-user myself that's used the software for years, I still have trouble finding where some settings are at times.

In fact, in my opinion, I think the entire settings pane could use some better reorganization. I only mention this because a number of friends I've referred AWM to over the years, they usually have the same complaint -- it's overwhelming to find how to set it up, which makes people get lost.

Just an idea.

Win7/Win8.1 Pro (x64)
AWM 8.3b2

 This is a much needed feature.

Considering all of the 'windows rules' one might create, finding an offending specific 'window rule' is virtually impossible if the only thing known is/are the name of the program/s. This requires searching through the WindowRules.ini to find the offending rule.

This feature/capability is extremely important. I'd like to suggest that everything within AWM could be searched, all configuration fields/data elements and any data element which are dynamic/virtual. I'd expect this would take some time, but would be a highly valued feature once implemented.

Please give it some serious consideration. I know your magical wizard brains will come up with a great solution.

Sincerely,
Lars
