Searching the menu

There is a search box above the menu. This allows you to search the menu for keywords to make it easier to find menu items that relate to a specific topic. The search function takes into account not only the names of menu items but also stored, indexed aliases and keywords.

As soon as you start typing in the search field, the menu is automatically reduced to relevant menu items. You can leave the search field at any time and click on the menu item that corresponds to what you are looking for. The reduced menu remains and displays the search results until you reset it using the button right next to it.

Tip - You can set the focus on the search field by pressing CTRL+Y on the keyboard.
