Yes, search is a nice addition, but it's really only useful if you know what to search for.
However, the search field should not become the primary access method. The fact that it has, for a lot of people, just goes to show how poor the organisation of the Control Panel really is.
A well organised control panel would not need a search field. Having one would be a bonus.
MS devs really need to take some time and look at how KDE's System Settings works and how MacOS X' preferences folder thingy (what is it called?) works. And then come up with something similar.
The current path is a dead end.

I find I prefer the search but that may be because I know what I'm searching for. However icon view instead of category view in the Control Panel can be easier to get around from a point-and-click perspective, as can GodMode http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=utf-8&q=windows+7+godmode
