As it is, it’s very rigid, also prone to stop working and makes already painful task more cumbersome.
Say I want to change trim, I type in: set trim, I get nothing, since it actually is Set Elevator Trim, so this missing word in my search eliminates result.

To be fair you could just type TRIM in and get all the results you need. Narrow down is easy then as the results show you the format you need to request next time.
well yes, I can only type one word and search through the list, but that was only an example. And I don’t think it’s unreasonable to expect ability to quickly and reliably search for control options when there are so many different controls.
I do agree but you’re asking for advanced features from people who can’t even get the basics right for launch.
This is a game.
Unless there’s a duplicate somewhere, I don’t know how this doesn’t have a ton of more votes. It seems that the control binding uses a “starts with” string search rather than “contains”, and that makes it extremely difficult to find anything.
It’s ridiculous that typing “altimeter” finds nothing but “set alt” finds it. This should be an extremely trivial fix for a major usablity improvement.
After spending a bit more time with this, there’s a bit more nuance to this but I’m convinced it’s a bug rather than a design decision. Searching within a string works only if you have the list of categories displayed. If you have searched something already and try to search something else, you’ll get the broken behavior. You’d have to first clear the search box to get the categories back before you can then filter properly again.
