For example, in IntelliJ (and other jetbrains products) you can open settings and search for almost anything. It will search in headers, options, values... And you can quickly find what you need, from the hundreds or more settings available.
On the other hand, on Android you can also search, but not only takes very long to actually search, it also duplicates entries and often never finds what you want.
But I guess the main issue is that the ability to search settings requires special base structure that you need to develop from the beginning, but when you start programming the number of options is small and you don't think about adding search until it's late.
