Improve search by settings and system app #2974

At the moment, this is poorly implemented relative to system settings. It works only in English and does not understand requests to Windows settings. For example, Check for updates (Windows), Create and format hard disk partitions, StartUp, etc. Therefore, sometimes you still have to use the native Windows search. Untitled

Stardock tried to implement an adequate search (even by system language) with its Start11. In their folder in appdata, they have a folder with a huge number of links to all these settings (with the desired language and icon) It would be cool to see this here.

It would also be nice to have a function to disable the ability to increase and decrease the search field. Now you can always do this when hovering the cursor over the frame, this sometimes gets in the way

Hi. System commands are a plugin that has a keyword of 's' by default. So for Windows update type s update and you will see it. You can of course change this. There is also a setting to fix the window size so it can't be adjusted by dragging. It's always best to have a good look through the settings if you find you can't do something in Flow.
