A user thus sees there's an issue in settings & tools, clicks its tab, sees that there's a warning in the setup panel, selects it and then immediately realizes which of the settings units are affected. Actual warning or error messages on the subsequent forms are presented using the mechanisms for showing form validation messages.

Search for settings
A user may also use the search box to search for settings. A search is performed on all settings topics and units as well as all strings used in forms making up the units. Clicking on a result takes you to the corresponding match according to the following list:
- match is a settings topic: opens the setup panel, puts the focus on the first unit in the topic
- match is a settings unit: opens the setup panel, sets the focus on the unit
- match is a string in a form inside a unit: opens the setup panel, sets the focus on the unit
So, other than setting the focus on a unit, there's no substring matches are highlighted in the setup panel or the forms of one of its units.
