Why is there a search settings if I cant search settings?

The Firefox web browser uses Bookmarks and not favorites. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/bookmarks-firefox

I guess. If it's common for many people to know them as favorites it could still be helpful to display Bookmarks when searching the settings for Favorites, especially since Firefox has the option to import favorites from other browsers as bookmarks into Firefox. The difference in terminology between browsers is not something a typical user is going to worry about when trying a new browser and trying to figure out how to navigate new settings and set it up how they want it. Isn't the point of it to be as intuitive as possible?

Also, my 2nd point still stands.

Alex, take a look at the options under: View menu / Toolbars / Bookmarks Toolbar and check "Always Show".

Alternatively, you can right-click on many of the buttons and elements at the top of the screen to find the toolbar setings.

As for searching in Settings, I suspect that it just performs a literal search of the text on the pages. Otherwise someone would have to maintain a list of alternative words for all the terms you can find in there, in order to anticipate that someone searching for the 'white list' for something means the exceptions etc. etc.
