Changelog Entry

Description

This PR introduces comprehensive search functionality for Open WebUI settings and refactors the settings architecture to use a centralized configuration. It implements a local search bar within the Admin Settings sidebar, a new Global Settings Search (Command Palette) accessible via Cmd+Shift+F, and unifies the settings definitions into a single source of truth to eliminate code duplication and ensure consistency.

Added

Centralized Settings Configuration: Created src/lib/constants/settings.ts as the single source of truth for all Admin and User settings, including IDs, titles, routes, keywords, and icons.
Admin Settings Search: Added a search bar to the Admin Settings sidebar to filter settings tabs.
Global Settings Search: Implemented a "Spotlight"-style global search modal (GlobalSettingsModal.svelte) triggered by Cmd+Shift+F (or Ctrl+Shift+F).
Solid Icons: Introduced a set of "Solid" style icons (e.g., SettingsSolid, CloudSolid, DatabaseSolid) to ensure visual consistency with the original Admin interface design.
Keyboard Shortcut: Added SEARCH_SETTINGS shortcut to shortcuts.ts and ShortcutsModal.svelte.

Changed

Refactored Settings Components: Updated GlobalSettingsModal.svelte, chat/SettingsModal.svelte, and admin/Settings.svelte to dynamically render settings tabs from the centralized configuration.
Refactored Admin Sidebar: Converted the hardcoded Admin Settings sidebar into a completely data-driven component, consuming ADMIN_SETTINGS from the centralized config.
Enhanced Keywords: Enriched and unified search keywords for all Admin and User setting categories in settings.ts to improve search relevance across the board.
User Settings Modal: Updated logic to support programmatic tab selection via a new activeSettingsTab store, and replaced hardcoded tab logic with dynamic rendering.
Visual Consistency: Restored the original "Solid" icon style for the Admin Settings sidebar while maintaining the new data-driven architecture.

Additional Information

The Global Search modal is accessible via Cmd+Shift+F and intelligently routes users:

Selecting an Admin setting navigates directly to the corresponding route (e.g., /admin/settings/general).
Selecting a User setting opens the User Settings modal and automatically selects the correct tab.
