Description
When using My Settings (Control Panel), the search input in the top left has no effect on the control panel modules displayed. I'm not sure what the original design intent of this was, but it could:
1) grey out modules that don't match the search text (similar concept as per Mac OS X System preferences search, though this includes extra keywords so a range of related words find useful modules i.e "clock" could highlight the date & time module)
2) hide all non-matching modules and reflow the view, (perhaps auto reflow is something worth considering any way, as the grid of module icons seems to have their layout hard-coded which breaks with screen resolution changes and locale string length variations).
3) typing in the search field could just drop down a menu of matching module names (perhaps with icons also) as you type.
