Summary

Searching in the menu for gamepad doesn't pull up the related advanced settings for gamepads, only joystick pulls it up, even though several of the options in the dropdown seem to be gamepads.

Steps to reproduce

Open settings/ search for gampad/ see no results
search for joystick see resulting Advanced Gamepads listing.

Search is currently by setting rather than by category. I suppose it should show the entire category if the search matches

Also Luanti doesn't support game pads properly yet, see https://docs.luanti.org/for-players/gamepads/

The fix is literally just adding the word gamepad to the setting option. :)

What about the other settings there?

[NathanSalapat]

hmm, I see. It would look ugly to change every setting to say joystick/gamepad but that's probably the only way to make all the settings show, without rewriting the search code. Maybe I'll dig around and see if I can't figure out how to make the search look at the headings as well.
