Sorry, something went wrong.
Users frequently copy symbol names with the CONFIG_ prefix from grep output, source code, or documentation. Both menuconfig and guiconfig compare search input against symbol names that lack the prefix, so these searches silently returned no results. This strips leading config prefix (after lowercasing) from each search token before regex compilation, using Kconfig.config_prefix rather than a hardcoded "CONFIG_" string. This respects custom prefixes set via the CONFIG_ environment variable (e.g. "BR2_" for Buildroot). The stripping uses startswith() + slicing, consistent with the existing codebase style.

This strips leading "config_" (after lowercasing) from each search token before regex compilation, using startswith() + slicing consistent with the existing codebase style. This is a no-op for tokens that don't carry the prefix, preserving full backward compatibility.
Summary by cubic
Jump-to search now accepts config-prefixed symbols in both menuconfig and guiconfig. Pasted names like CONFIG_FOO or BR2_FOO will match FOO.
Written for commit 7e249c5. Summary will update on new commits.
