Fuzzy Search for Keymap Editor

While F3 Search is flexible, certain other Search bars in Blender only seem to look for exact matches , like searching by Name in the Keymap editor . For example, if you look for Zoom View it cannot find Zoom 2D View , only the 3D View and Image keys. You have to add "2D".

An easy quick fix for this specific case would be to rename "Zoom 2D View" to "Zoom View 2D" though this would be fixing one symptom instead of the underlying problem (though perhaps this would be more consistent, and is worth renaming either way).

A similar issue occurs when looking for what was previously called Hide Collection but was recently renamed Hide Other Collections so if you search for "Hide Collection" it returns zero results. Only if you search for "Hide" or "Collection" on its own or by browsing Categories manually will you rediscover the old 0-9 set of hotkeys.

It would be great if keymap search could be made more flexible. The same for other search bars .
