Comment (by beaucollins):

 I am attaching a plugin that provides a search interface similar to the
 demo I posted on make.wordpress.com/ui.

 Download Hopscotch Plugin]

 Once activated the plugin provides access to the navigation elements int
 he WordPress menu in a Dashboard widget as seen in this screenshot (by
 default it will be the last widget on the page unless you drag it to a new
 position):

 You can use the keyboard arrow keys our mouse pointer to activate items.

 I have the groundwork laid for hooks/filters that allow other parties to
 add searchable items.

 For the navigation items we want to add additional terms other than those
 explicitly in the menu. I think the most obvious route would be to
 leverage the [title] attribute on the anchor tags in the menu which
 currently don't have any (this also improves accessibility in general). So
 the "Settings -> General" navigation element could have a title attribute
 that reads something along the lines of:

     Change your blog's title, tagline and date formats

 Those terms could then be added to the search index for that navigation
 element.

 I tested this out with the Spanish translation and it works as I expected
 but I'm not sure how other languages may behave (especially non-latin
 type).

 The plugin is currently named "Hopscotch" since it's just a fork of the
 same web browser extension.
