FWIW Those settings appear when I search for tag in the admin page. Did you flip to the ‘tags’ tab?
AI-generated summary
The discussion revolves around the admin setting search being too fuzzy. denvergeeks initially pointed out that searching for tag or tags yields too many results, requiring them to refine the search or browse through tabs. JammyDodger explained that the search works by including fuzzy matching, which was recently implemented to help users who don’t know the exact name of a setting. However, denvergeeks argued that the search should be able to find relevant results without having to scroll through tabs. JammyDodger suggested that there might be a case for prioritizing closer matches in the results. denvergeeks reiterated that the search is overly fuzzy. Fortunately, blake announced that recent improvements to the site settings search should provide more accurate results, which denvergeeks appreciated.

@JammyDodger I just go to Admin → Settings and type in the search field…

That’s the right way. 
(though, in your video it seems you’re on the ‘Required’ tab rather than ‘All’). But with something like tag it’ll have quite a lot of settings with it in so you may need to refine the search or go through the tabs to filter the results. On the ‘All’ tab you’d see this at the bottom:

I think I should be able to hit Admin → Settings and type in a string and not have to scroll around to find a tab (or hit All, and get a crazy amount of results). Kind of defeats the purpose of a quick search, no?

How would it know which of the settings with tag in is the one you’re looking for?

It should do better than this (notice that the string tags is nowhere close to the top of the results)…

We recently had a change to include fuzzy matching to help people who didn’t know the exact name of a setting:
Perhaps there’s a case to have closer matches towards the top of the results. 
Though for something like tag, I think your best bet is to check the Tags tab of the settings if you’re not looking for something you know the name of.

It’s overly fuzzy IMO (either that or it’s not fuzzy enough, not sure which it is…)

It totally was! Several improvements to the site settings search were made last week, so it should be better about returning more accurate results now.
