We recently had a change to include fuzzy matching to help people who didn’t know the exact name of a setting:

> [@3.1.0.beta5: Customizable Community section, Improvements to Admin Notifications, Topic Merge and more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/3-1-0-beta5-customizable-community-section-improvements-to-admin-notifications-topic-merge-and-more/263867/2):
>
> Fuzzy search in site settings and raise limit to 100 matches

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.
