Comment:

 Nicely spotted @NekoJonez!

 The original sentence reads more like a note than a message:
  **Error:** Options page %s not found in the allowed options list.
 -----
 Your suggestion improves this:
  **Error:** Options page %s is not found in the allowed options list.

 However, I still think it reads a little like a note rather than a
 message.

 Some things that jumped out at me when reading this:
 - "is", or "was"? - The search is already complete.
 - "not found" - This tells the user something about the process, rather
 than the result.
 -----
 What do you think about this instead?
  **Error:** The %s options page is not in the allowed options list.

 This:
 - Reflects the present state: It's not in the list.
 - Doesn't add unnecessary information about the process.
 - Reads like a message, rather than a note.
