98eb89be5d UI: improve search results by using fuzzy and prefix matching
Blender does string based searching in many different places.
This patch updates four of these places to use the new string
search api in `BLI_string_search.h`.

In the future we probably want to update the other searches as well.

2a24b3aaf4 Fix T78084: Search does not accept text fragments everywhere
This was reported for the "Add Node" search functionality, but is
relevant in other searches as well.

So e.g. when searching for "Separate XYZ", typing "sep", then " " (with
the intention to type "X" next) would clear the search field. Now use
the same method (matching against all search words) as in F3 searching
('menu_search_update_fn') in other searches as well [searching IDs,
property objects, finding nodes,...]

This should give a much nicer search experience in general.

Note: this does not touch other searches in the Dopesheet, Outliner,
Filebrowser or User Preferences that have other search implementations.

67002402bd Fix T79162: 'prop_search' includes ID prefix in string properties
Regression from d6cefef98f

This also fixes an unreported issue where finding an exact match
wasn't being detected for items that contained an ID prefix.

Callback naming didn't always make it clear which function updated
the search contents and the function used to execute the action.

b9bb752e0e UI: search menus from all visible areas when using the edit menu
Without this, only actions in the top-bar were visible
which isn't very useful.

Now menus are extracted from the areas used in the active window,
unless this search is activated by the key shortcut,
in this case the current area is used.
