Boggles my mind that as they rewrote preferences to match iOS not one person said “hang on, is this design even any good on iOS?”

Because honestly I find it impossible to find anything in it and the search doesn’t even work reliably.

Interestingly, the search index in iOS Settings is not based on localized UI strings, as one would assume or hope, but on keywords that are updated independently of the UI as a neglected afterthought. So, while it’s technically “reliable,” you’re right that it can’t be relied upon.
