Request to Remove or Relocate the "Search Preferences" Box in Illustrator

[Soothing_Breeze0707]

I would like to request that the "Search Preferences" box in the Illustrator Preferences panel be removed or at least relocated. Honestly, I use functions like "Keyboard Increment" much more frequently to adjust element positions. However, because the search box is always at the very top, it constantly gets in the way and becomes the first thing that receives focus. This makes the workflow unnecessarily inconvenient. It would be much more user-friendly if the search box could be hidden, disabled, or placed somewhere less intrusive.
