This is a general issue for software I find - where is function X [now] (when I know function X exists).

For settings, eg on phones, MS Windows, Linux, this used to be a big problem to and it has been solved by simply including a settings search.

Is it time apps had a "search" on the application menu that would then open the relevant dialog, or perhaps optionally allow the finding of the menu item (eg open the menu, open the sub-menu, highlight the menu item that opens the dialog, pause, open the dialog)?

I had the same issue earlier, where is the Voice settings in Steam -- it strikes me if I can type "voice" in a function-search on the main menu that would be better than trawling for help info online.
