Description
currently, when performing a single-element search (i.e. a name-based search), there are 3 tabs:
- In Names
- In Parameters
- In Return Types
I basically never use the other two, instead explicitly using type-based search with -> if i want that info.
These extra tabs add visual clutter and also slow down the searching process.
I propose an option in the settings panel to disable these extra tabs.

Research direction
Start by reading the rustdoc search implementation and the settings panel, then review related issue #131156 for existing context. Determine how a setting could hide the Parameters and Return Types tabs for single-element searches, and verify that name-based and type-based searches retain their intended behavior.
