Don't ever be tempted to get into macOS betas - the searchbar data for
Settings is one of the last things to be indexed and put in place, so
you can never find fucking anything.

Honestly, whoever does the design+management of Settings needs to be put
in charge of making tea or something instead of software. Utter
shambles.
