Summary
In ux-research#1298 (closed) and #292947 we are exploring whether we can implement a cross-page settings search. If our assumptions are confirmed that this design is working well, we can approach this iteratively in multiple steps.
First step
Initially we could just go ahead and move all current Settings pages into tabs on one central Settings page.
That should make it easier for us to lay the foundation of the second step.
Second step
After we have figured out how cross-page Settings search will technically work, the only design change we would have to make would be moving the search from inside the tabs to a central spot above.
When a user then searches, the tabs with results will be highlighted, which is the same pattern as on our usual Search page.
