Search Salesforce Setup quickly

Here's a note from the Salesforce documentation on a shortcut link to search in the setup for approval
items, assignment rules, custom objects and fields, custom profiles, permission sets, workflow items, users, groups, queues, email alerts and templates.

Note

• this is different from the global search at the top of every Salesforce screen which only searches records not setup configuration items
• this only works if Advanced Setup Search is enabled.

https://<instance>.salesforce.com/ui/setup/SetupSearchResultsPage?setupSearch=<your search term here>

Examples are:
https://na15.salesforce.com/ui/setup/SetupSearchResultsPage?setupSearch=anil

Or for multiple keywords put a %20 in place of a space
https://na15.salesforce.com/ui/setup/SetupSearchResultsPage?setupSearch=installed%20pac

Also, for developers there is a Chrome extension - Salesforce advanced Code searcher[linked in the references] which enables searching for apex and VF code. This extension is awesome in finding the apex or VF you need and quickly jumping to it.
