Cross-tab settings search:
- Static SETTINGS_INDEX covering every sub-section of every tab, with
free-form keywords per entry so "scrobble" finds Last.fm, "replay gain"
finds Playback, etc.
- matchScore() does substring-first ranking, falls back to a char-in-order
fuzzy match so typos still yield hits.
- Active tab keeps its in-place hide/show filter; matches from other tabs
render at the top as a clickable "In other tabs" list (tab badge +
sub-section title). Clicking clears the query, switches tab, and scrolls
+ opens the target sub-section.
- All 8 locales updated: new searchOtherTabs key, searchNoResults reworded
(old "try another tab" hint is now handled by the list itself).
Settings restructure polish:
- "Next Track Buffering" moved from Audio to the Storage tab — sits
between Offline Library and Downloads.
- Storage tab label renamed across 8 locales: "Storage & Downloads" →
"Offline & Cache" (equivalents per locale). nb locale was missing
tabStorage entirely; added. Tab id stays 'storage' to avoid breaking
persisted state.
- Library tab: Random Mix sub-section now opens by default (previously
both sub-sections started collapsed) and is renamed "Random Mix
Blacklist" in all 8 locales — the section is entirely a blacklist
config, the old title was misleading.
- Lyrics tab:
* Standard / YouLyPlus rows use the same toggle style as the "Show
lyrics as static text" row and stack vertically. Order swapped so
YouLyPlus is first.
* Provider list (Server / LRCLIB / Netease) moved to appear directly
under the Standard toggle as its sub-item, indented, instead of after
the static-text toggle.
* Classic / Apple Music-like rows likewise rebuilt as vertical toggle
rows.
- One pre-existing typo carried in from #261 fixed along the way: the
openAddServerInvite handler in Settings referenced the renamed tab id
'server' (pre-#259) — now 'servers'. [Note: already landed in PR #262,
keeping this commit clean of that.]
