It's a search for CONFIG_ symbols not "menus". Even though the user
doesn't have direct control over some symbols, it's still useful to know
they exist and (possibly) what enables them. For example, searching for
LOCKDEP tells me I can enable DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC to get it.
Besides, this patchset to add the jumps keys didn't change that behavior at
all. You're gonna get the same search results with the current menuconfig.
