Description
The plugin preferences should have a search dialog like Advanced Preferences.
It should search in plugin names & descriptions and narrow down the list when it gets partial matches somewhere (like Advanced Preferences).

| Summary: | Add search to plugin preferences → [PATCH] Add search to plugin preferences |
I've implemented this. See attached patch & screenshot.
It works, but it could probably be optimized more. The drawPanel() function that's now being called every time a character is put into the search box was only designed to be called when plugins were updated or a new list of them downloaded. Hence it calls loadPlugins() which is expensive.
But I'm too lazy to implement this & optimize it today. And waiting a few milliseconds for the list to update is still a whole lot faster than manually scanning the whole thing with your eyeballs in search of a plugin.
