[Bug 845915] [NEW] "All Settings" is confusing

 

Public bug reported:

When searching for a gnome setting, I'll generally use the unity dash.
For example, I'll type "keyboard" and hit enter. This brings me directly
to the keyboard settings. When the setting I'm looking for isn't there,
I see a button labeled "All Settings" that taunts me into clicking it.

What I expect: context. I was looking for all available keyboard settings.
What happened: I'm back at the list of all config possibilities, and have to find "keyboard" again to continue my search within the existing tabs in keyboard settings.

Suggestion: It should really be more like navigation. Even though I
landed directly at keyboard settings, the top menu (where "All Settings"
currently is) should illustrate that I'm in a sub-section of the control
center. It'd make more sense if I saw Home->Keyboard rather than "All
Setting" :)
