1 year ago When a filter search fails in the Project Settings dialog, but there are hidden advanced settings which match the search string, then show a message in the right panel indicating this (see below for example)
I think there is an agreement already that when filtering matching advanced options should pop up regardless of the toggle.

Describe the project you are working on
Assisting a new user to learn Godot via a 2D tutorial series.
Describe the problem or limitation you are having in your project
Several quite basic settings are hidden behind "Advanced Settings" in the project settings dialog. For example:
This is frustrating for new users as the Advanced Settings toggle is very non-obvious.
Describe the feature / enhancement and how it helps to overcome the problem or limitation
One of:

Get rid of the Advanced Settings toggle, and instead show the settings as visually separate from basic settings within each setting category, eg in a different colour, grouped at the bottom, or with "(Advanced)" after their name. This way they will still show up in a search.
Describe how your proposal will work, with code, pseudo-code, mock-ups, and/or diagrams
If this enhancement will not be used often, can it be worked around with a few lines of script?
No, it's an editor UI issue.
Is there a reason why this should be core and not an add-on in the asset library?
Improving editor usability for new users.
