Searchable settings page
In my current project which has been actively developed for quite some time we have a big classic settings page. Unfortunately the placement and naming of properties have not always been the best so I tend to end up searching for a property with ctrl+f in the browser when I know it should be there somewhere but i cant find it.
So today I thought of why not add an actual view to the page with a simple search so I atleast can figure out on what tab the property is on. I guess everyone has been using settings pages for ages but atleast I have nerver actually created a view for it.
It's a simple searchbox that filters on the property name and localized caption and descripton values. And the default listing view is just a long list grouped by tab.
It looks like below (a bit of a crappy image but I couldnt display that much of the properties) and you can find it over at my Gist.
