The Preferences dialog pages can be searched using the filter function. To filter
by matching the page title, simply type the name of the page you are seeking
and the available pages will be presented below. The filter also searches on
keywords such as appearance and java. The history controls allow you to navigate
through previously viewed pages. To step back or forward several pages at a
time, click the drop down arrow and a list of the most recently viewed preference
pages will appear.</p>
