Research direction
Examine the command line parsing logic in RES. Likely located in a file handling commands. Identify where unrecognized commands are currently handled (probably ignored or shown error). Modify to treat unknown commands as 'search settings' by prepending 'search' and re running the command. Also, ensure that the recognized commands list is displayed below the 'search settings for: foo' tip.
