## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
It was asked why this feature is needed at all, because it could be done
with snipping tool and just AoT that window as well. While this is true,
PowerToys goal always was to improve and speed up workflows. Instead of
capturing the screenshot, opening it, and then apply "Crop and Lock" or
"Always on Top" on the screenshots window, this PR aims to provide this
functionality in a single step.
Example use cases:
- _when I want to compare between two situations like previous output
result and current output result._ (#31799)
- _Allow cropping a section of a large code file (say top while working
at the bottom) as reference while working elsewhere in the file._
(#33071)
- _Can be useful for the work in the same document, like excel or word
where you are actively checking the data from the same document._
(#28633)
- _In lot's of older applications, if you need to get some information
or data from one dialog do another, but because of dialog modality it's
not possible to have both windows open at the same time._ (#33812)
- _nowadays quite a lot is happening inside the browser. Quite often, I
want to keep a small portion of the current website visible and switch
to e.g. the writing tool also running in a different tab in the same
browser window._ (#31799)
I've used win+ctrl+shift+s as the default activation shortcut, as it's
not yet used by other powertoys utilities, has similarity with the
normal win+shift+s shortcut hotkey and is consistent with the other Crop
and Lock shortcuts win+ctrl+shift+r (Reparent Mode) and win+ctrl+shift+t
(Thumbnail Mode).

wherever possible, but list manual validation steps taken as well -->
## Validation Steps Performed
Compatibility tested manually with a large set of applications I have
installed on my computer. However, automated tests don't really make
sense as there is not much business logic which could be tested.

## Summary of the Pull Request
Quality of (dev)life improvement: a dedicated control for showing the
GPO-warning InfoBar. As a result, we no longer need to copy-and-paste
the same InfoBar XAML all over the place, ensuring that things are
consistent and easier to maintain.

## Summary of the Pull Request
- Renames `NavigatablePage` to `NavigablePage` to fix a spelling error.
- Reverts related entries in `exclude.txt` that triggered a forbidden
pattern error in the spell checker.
- The spell checker does not allow PascalCase words like
`NavigatablePage` in `exclude.txt` because of its automatic casing
rules.

## AI summary
This pull request introduces infrastructure and code to support search
functionality for PowerToys settings, including a new search index
specification, a dedicated search library, and updates to the solution
configuration. The main changes are the addition of a spec describing
how settings should be indexed and navigated, the creation of a new
`Common.Search` project with a fuzz search implementation, and updates
to the solution file to include these new components.
**Settings Search Feature Implementation**
* Documentation:
* Added a detailed specification (`settings-search.md`) describing the
structure of PowerToys settings pages, how to index settings, navigation
logic, runtime search, result grouping, build-time indexing strategy,
and corner cases.
* New Search Library:
* Added the new `Common.Search` project to the solution, including its
project file and implementation of a fuzz search service
(`FuzzSearchService<T>`), match options, match results, and search
precision scoring.

* Solution Configuration:
* Updated `PowerToys.sln` to include `Common.Search` and
`Settings.UI.XamlIndexBuilder` projects, and configured their build
settings for various platforms and mapped project dependencies.

**Spell-check Dictionary Updates**
* Added new terms related to navigation and settings UI components (such
as `Navigatable`, `NavigatablePage`, `settingscard`, `Tru`, `tweakable`)
to the spell-check dictionary to support the new search and indexing
features.
