Special:Preferences needs search box
Closed, DuplicatePublicBUG REPORT

Description

Steps to replicate the issue (include links if applicable):

  • Visit Special:Preferences
  • Try to find some obscure preference that you remember from last week*

What happens?:

  • Must slowly dig through the menu trees looking.

What should have happened instead?:

Special:Preferences is getting so big these days,
there are more choices than in one's cellphone's Settings!

These days cellphones' Settings all have a search box at top, to help
dig up the setting you are looking for out of the myriad of menus.

Therefore Special:Preferences should have a search function too!

Software version (skip for WMF-hosted wikis like Wikipedia):
