Seriously bad idea, if that is the case. I hope some of the people grounded in 
usability thinking can talk some sense into that one. Browsing through 
sensibly organised modules is the number one way of using the control centre. 
Having it exposed as part of a search is certainly a very good additional 
way, but it won't be the primary one.

There is simply too much on here. No one is going to read what is on the 
left-hand side and it is a waste of space.

Cheers,
