Can a search box for the ArcGIS Pro "Options" screen be added, similar to the search box in "Environments"?

It would help me find the appropriate option as opposed to trying to determine if it was under "General" vs "Layout", etc.

I see that I already added this as an idea but only got 3 Kudos.

@GabrielMarcus1 and others who are following, in ArcGIS Pro 2.9 the Command Search box will support searching for Options.  This should allow you to get to a tab in the Options dialog directly from the UI instead of clicking the Project tab > Options tab to get a search.  Do you have examples of search terms you would use when you're trying to find options?

Add a search function to the Project Options in ArcGIS Pro. If you know the specific option you are looking for you may not know what section it is in and you have to hunt around through all the options to find what you are looking for. It would be much easier to search for a specific option.

Better yet, put the cursor there by default:

With the Options dialog containing 30+ sub-screens a dynamic search box to quickly navigate to a specific item would be helpful. A similar search box already exists in the main Pro window for commands so mashing them up gives us:
