Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Documentation/kconfig: add search jump feature description

From: Changbin Du <changbin.du@...el.com>

Kernel menuconfig support direct jumping function from the search
result. This is a very convenient feature but not documented. So
add a short description to the kconfig documentation to let more
developer know it.
