Document default search technique change for Options List controls
The default search technique for newly created Options List controls changed
from Prefix to Contains in 9.4 (Kibana PR #250992).
- Add Searching options to the 9.4 tab (were missing) with Contains as default
- Mark Prefix as default in the 9.0-9.3 tab
- Use the actual UI label "Searching" (not "Search technique") in both tabs
- Fix setting order to match UI: Selections → Searching → Additional settings
