SUMMARY
I have a whole bunch of icons in my system tray, and I hide most of them. Occasionally, I want to use a hidden icon. When I open the panel containing the hidden icons, I'm faced with dozens of icons, and I cannot quickly find the application I'm looking for. This is slightly frustrating.

Instead of scrolling through the list until I find the application, I'd prefer being able to search using my keyboard. After opening the panel containing the hidden icons, I'd like to be able to type immediately (without having to click in a search bar first), and only the icons matching the query are shown; similar to the search function in the system tray's "Entries" settings.

Thank you for your consideration :-)
