Describe the solution you'd like

There is a big number of options in configuration. It would be practical to have a search.

Additional context

While in app search would be nice, I guess it requires some non trivial dev work. However, since we have an export to the INI file, and assuming each option has a default value, it would be enough to put an option label as a comment in the ini file such as:

[logging]
..
chatrooms = True   #log chat rooms by deafault
transfers = False  #log transfers to file
...

in which case one could use any editor to search.

You're very right. In fact the Preferences module already makes up a substantial portion of the code base, and implementing this feature request would make it even larger.

Although it is not impossible, the only realistic hope is that perhaps one day we can pull something that has this built-in from upstream.

I think alternative I mentioned is probably trivial to implement.
