Like other operating systems, Android has a plethora of settings options. These settings help optimize the user experience, but at the same time, the Settings menu can sometimes feel like a “disorganized mess.”
Luckily, Android has a search feature right inside the Settings menu that lets you search for specific settings options by relevant keywords. Here's how to use it.
It should be noted that the layout and naming of items in the Settings menu of Android phones and tablets will vary depending on the Android customization version of each manufacturer. However, basically, the setup steps will all be similar.
First, open the Settings menu by swiping down from the top of the screen (once or twice, depending on which version of Android you're using) and tapping the gear icon to open the Settings menu. Alternatively, you can tap the gear icon directly on the home screen.
Once the Settings menu appears, the main thing you'll notice is a search bar or search icon, such as a magnifying glass, at the top of the Settings menu. Here's what the search bar looks like in the stock Android Settings menu interface on a Pixel phone.
And here is the search button in the Settings menu on a Samsung Galaxy phone:

Saying that to see the difference in the interface of Android customizations, but basically there are still common points.
Now, click on the search bar and type in a keyword related to the setting you are looking for. The corresponding results will start appearing below as you type. Pay attention to the small text that tells you which part of the Settings the results are from.
Tapping a result will take you to its corresponding location in the Settings menu.
That's all, hopefully this small but useful feature will make it easier for you to find the settings option you want.
