Description:
The Preferences has A LOT of items.  Often, it's hard to know where to find what i want.  For example, i want to see if OpenGL is enabled: i can't find it.

So please add a search function to Preferences.

Actual Results:
Can't find my item.

Expected Results:
Find my item.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
Sorry, i could not find an appropriate keyword for the summary.  Can you suggest one?

Sorry, i could not copy the 'About LibreOffice' dialog.  In OSX, it's under the Apple menu, and cannot be copied.

Sorry, i could not reset my UserProfile; there is no Tools>Options menu for me to find it.

Sorry, i could not find if OpenGL was enabled: there is no Tools>Options menu for me to find it.  I also checked in Preferences and couldn't find it.  There are SO many Preferences, how about adding a searcher there.

In the LibreOffice Preferences menu, go to "Advanced", click on the "Open Advanced Configuration" button.

From there you can enter keywords to search for configuration options and change the options which match.

The Preferences dialog is already a slimmed down version of all of the configuration options available.
