[DOCS] Settings docs omit `/config` search matching for option values

Documentation Type

Missing documentation (feature not documented)

Section/Topic

/config settings interface behavior, specifically search/filter behavior in the interactive Settings UI

Current Documentation

The settings page currently says:

Claude Code offers a variety of settings to configure its behavior to meet your needs. You can configure Claude Code by running the /config command when using the interactive REPL, which opens a tabbed Settings interface where you can view status information and modify configuration options.

The commands reference currently says:

/config | Open the Settings interface to adjust theme, model, output style, and other preferences. Alias: /settings

The settings reference also lists the editorMode option and its value:

editorMode | Key binding mode for the input prompt: "normal" or "vim". Default: "normal". Appears in /config as Editor mode

These pages explain that /config opens the Settings UI and that Editor mode has a "vim" value, but they do not document that the /config search box can match option values.

What's Wrong or Missing?

Claude Code changelog v2.1.116 says:

/config search now matches option values (e.g. searching "vim" finds the Editor mode setting)

Current docs do not explain this behavior anywhere I could find in the Claude Code docs mirror. Users are told that /config opens the Settings interface, but not that they can search within it, and not that searches can match setting values as well as setting names/labels.

That gap matters for discoverability: a user who knows the value they want (vim) but not the setting label (Editor mode) has no documented way to learn that /config search can find the setting from the value.

Suggested Improvement

Add a short subsection to settings.md near the /config introduction that documents the Settings search behavior.

Suggested content outline:

Search settings Use the search box in /config to filter settings. Search matches both setting names/labels and option values. For example, searching vim finds Editor mode because vim is one of that setting's available values.

Also update the /config row in commands.md to mention that the Settings interface is searchable.

Impact

Medium - Makes feature difficult to understand
