Locations in /System/Library/ to check:
- PreferenceBundles: only two of the bundles seem to actually ontain
  a SettingsSearchManifest.plist, but make sure to scan the entire
  directory and examine all subfolders that aren't .lproj or .bundle
  (excluding _CodeSignature) for .bundle directories.
- PreferenceManifests: Just one big bundle, AppleAccountSettingsSearch.bundle.
- PreferenceManifestsInternal: Two bundles, AccessibilitySettingsSearch.bundle
  for accessibility settings and PreferenceManifests.bundle for
  everything else.
