GCLI should provide a way to search preferences, similar to `addon list`, except that you should be able to pass it a string (or regexp) to filter by.
Blocks: GCLICMD
The command "pref show " looks works, it have automatic suggestions for all pref name.

Personally I find that I often remember a single component of a pref's path, which is probably not at the beginning. So the autocomplete doesn't work for that because the typed string isn't at the beginning of the pref name.

According to my test results, it is an any match instead of begin match only, although it does not support any wildcard or regexp.
Right, this works as designed in comment 3. Thanks Triage. Filter on Lobster Thermidor.
