more cook up a patch ;)

I suggest "Enter Keyword" to be changed to "Enter Keyword to search
in CONFIG_... symbols".

Makes sense. or "Enter CONFIG_ symbol to search for: (omit CONFIG_)".
Please send a patch.

Add explicit text about
- where menuconfig '/' (search) searches for strings,
- that substrings are allowed, and
