I was thinking about fields, eg: keywords, helpwords or something similar. 
It should be easy to search for them. ... The _problem_ is *translatability*.

I wanted to say that "one of the listed" keywords should open the same 
__context__. .. So it may be possible to find a single setting. .. but it 
doesn't make sense to open 1 setting out of context. eg: $:/ControlPanel: 
Appearence: Theme Tweaks: Sizes ... Open 1 setting has the potential to 
create an unusable UI. 

So doing it wrong will make things worse. If this happens it's better to 
change nothing. ... So for me CONTEXT IS KING for settings.
