System Information
Intel Core 2 Quad, 8 Gb RAM, NVidia GeForce GTX 960 2GB
Windows 7 x64

Blender Version
Broken: 2.90 d7282537f0 from 2020-05-27
Worked: 2.83

Short description of error
View Camera Center cannot be found in any of two search options in 2.9. Perhaps after all these years it is finally time to add that function to View – Navigation?

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Open Blender, switch to Camera view, invoke Search (any of the two in 2.9) and type “view cam”, in 2.83 and earlier you will see “View Camera Center” while in 2.9 it won't show in any of the search options.
I have to point out that somehow I have managed to invoke View Camera Center from Search (don't remember which one) ONCE and after that it mysteriously disappeared permanently from both of them so there is definitely something strange is going on. I have tried to type “view3d”, “cam”, "view" and several other options but none of them worked.

I guess this is because this operator is not displayed in any menu and now only menu assigned operators are displayed.

Check if you can find it after enabling Developer Extrasin Userprefs. This options includes all operators in the search.

With this option enabled, I can find it.

I have double checked and it still doesn't show in any of the search options. Like I've mentioned above, somehow I have managed to invoke it once and then it disappeared, I have tried to reset Blender to factory state and try again but it didn't help, both search options look exactly the same. Second screenshot is on default state with Developer Extras checked, notice that there is a view3d.camera_to_view_selected but no view3d.view_center_camera. Should I try something else? My Blender is definitely in its most default state so I don't know what else to check.

There is "Frame All" in the view menu. Although that's a different operator I've been messing with it for a few minutes and I can't actually tell what the difference is.

"Frame All" zooms out the viewport so entire scene will be visible while "View Camera Center" fits camera's frame to the current 3D window which is extremely important for obvious reasons.

Ah, my confusion was that they both use the same key in the keymap, but one is used in camera view. Thanks.
