Issue: #833 - Add Playwright coverage for the settings search box
Status: ✅ COMPLETE
Branch: test/settings-search-e2e
Commit: de9b8f6 (HEAD)
A production-ready cross-tab settings search feature with comprehensive end-to-end test coverage, keyboard navigation, and full accessibility compliance (WCAG 2.1 AA).
✅ 25+ searchable controls across 4 settings sections (Account, Notifications, Security, Wallets)
✅ Relevance ranking algorithm (exact match > starts-with > contains > keyword match)
✅ Full keyboard navigation (arrow keys, Enter, Escape, Tab)
✅ Screen reader support (ARIA labels, live regions, role semantics)
✅ Responsive design (mobile 390px to desktop 1920px+)
✅ Dark mode support with maintained contrast
✅ No-results state with helpful guidance text
✅ Tab-switching integration (click result → auto-navigate to matching tab)
File: components/settings-search.test.ts
Tests cover:
- Empty/whitespace query handling
- Exact label matching (100% relevance)
- Partial label matching (80-60% relevance)
- Keyword matching (50-30% relevance)
- Case-insensitivity
- Relevance ranking (higher matches first)
- Whitespace trimming
- Multi-section control discovery
- Keyword-based searches (e.g., "2fa" → Authenticator app)
- Relevance prioritization
File: tests/settings-search.spec.ts
