0. Install a few mods
1. Open mod settings dialog
2. Change to the Player tab
3. Click the magnifying glass or press ctrl+f
4. Type "e"
The Startup tab will be selected, even though there are matching settings on the Player tab. This behavior might make sense when there are not any more matches on the already selected tab, but not when there are. Even then, I would want it to switch back to the original tab if I typed something, got no results, then backspaced to type something else.
Search/filter on mod settings dialog changes tab unnecessarily

Re: Search/filter on mod settings dialog changes tab unnecessarily
Thanks for the report. While I agree with the ideas here the current implementation is working as intended. If one of us developers decides they want to tweak the behavior at some future point that would be nice but for now it's not a priority.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.
