The screen that greets the user upon M-x customize should have a
Search [________]
box. E.g., the user is looking for things that match cursor.*color,
and finds some using M-x apropos, but would like to find where inside
all the menus he should go now here to get to the M-x customize
specific ones.

Also good would be a standard BACK key.

FWIW, there are also `customize-apropos' and `customize-apropos-options'.

If a Search field is added to Customize, perhaps it should leverage the
`customize-apropos*' commands.

Yes, that sounds like a good idea.  Patches welcome,
