Yes please. UE 4 example - most of panels with lot of items have search bar. Image

+1. I would go even further and say that this needs to be incorporated into the window manager panel somehow, so it's available in any menu panel (preferences, etc). I imagine when you have a panel focused and you press something like F3 or Ctrl+F the search bar appears and you type and it filters out everything that is not a match.

How do you envisage the search reacting to multiple properties returned by the search (Like "Render" or "X")?

* @ammusionist * You could add a "fInd next" and "find previous" button like the search function in text / code editors. Here's an example from Visual Studio Code Image

  1. Hide the panels that don't contain the search key (like in the image above)
  2. Highlight the matching words
  3. Use 'next' and 'previous' to focus / scroll to the next matching item

Yes! Generally all big lists should have context search. Preferable as global search, for hotkey. Just to keep interface more clear. Because I can remember, how it named, but may not remember, where exactly it is.

Yes YES!!! this is so useful! specially now with so many sub menu things, I know the name of what I want and loose a lot of time looking for it, this would be really cool!
