         .SYNOPSIS
             Searches through the Tweaks on the Tweaks Tab and hides all entries that do not match the search string
 
+        .DESCRIPTION
+            Filters tweak entries by name or description using literal string matching (no wildcard expansion).
+            Respects collapsed category state and handles null $sync gracefully.
+            Safe for rapid keystroke events; no terminal spam on error conditions.

+            The string to be searched for. Wildcards are treated as literal characters.
+
+        .NOTES
+            - Uses module-scope $sync (resolved via global/script fallback if needed)
+            - Performs literal matching (no wildcard expansion)
+            - Safely handles missing UI elements and null properties
+            - Protected by try/catch to prevent UI thread crashes
+            - PowerShell 5.1 compatible (no ternary operators, no advanced language features)
