Hello, Khanh,       

"Appearance" is the name of a group, not a property name. That is why the search box, doesn't show any filter results. The default FilterDescriptor filters by the Label. You can filter by the following criteria’s:
Name: The property name.
Value: The property value.
Category: Assigned from the Category attrubute name.
FormattedValue: The value of the property converted to string.
Label: By default this is identical to the property name, unless changed by setting the Label property of the item.
Description: This is determined by the property Description attribute
OriginalValue: The value used when the property is initialized.

It is possible to handle the RadPropertyGrid.FilterDescriptors.CollectionChanged event and change the FilterDescriptor.PropertyName property to "Category". Thus, the category name will be considered when filtering: 

private void FilterDescriptors_CollectionChanged(object sender, NotifyCollectionChangedEventArgs e)
{
    if (this.radPropertyGrid1.FilterDescriptors.Count>0)
    {
        this.radPropertyGrid1.FilterDescriptors[0].PropertyName = "Category";
    }
}

I hope this information helps. If you have any additional questions, please let me know.
