I believe search should work for labels and help messages.If a user wants to update multiple fields for a particular option in the left panel then searching one field and only listing that in the right panel would not be enough. I think it would need further discussion then for this implementation, is there any ticket created for this ? Can you please share it?
What's the point of searching for the left tree where it is easily accessible and right in front of you? Search will help on the actual preferences which are not visible until you click the tree item.
Let me be clear, the tree will not hide. It will show only those items which contains the filtered preferences similar to PyCharm or VSCode.

I was also thinking of opening preferences in a tab instead of dialog. Advantages being - less scroll and more space, consistency with other features like user management, processes.Below is a rough design.
