I began with a fresh Avatar floater, fresh from a login. I filtered for "Tori" and got a complete list of the outfits with "Tori" in the name of the outfit or contents with "Tori" in the item name.:
If I clear the textbox using the X tool at the right end of the box and type in "!L", the result will be the complete list of the 100 or so outfits including those characters in the name (or contents).
If I then type
over
the text in the now
yellow
textbox (not clearing first with the X tool), typing "Tori" I get at subset of the complete list. A list containing only those items in the
previously
filtered list.
This is an example of a case that is easily reproduced. However there are numerous cases I cannot explain. For example when starting with a new filter
after clearing
the textbox and not getting the complete list of
known
instances.
[2025-03-29: in some cases when known items exist in outfits and are not found in the filter, relogging occasionally corrects the issue. However I've got 46 outfits that contain an item, none of which are found using the filter; even after multiple relogs.]
This has also been occurring for months in previous releases of the SL viewer.
I see the same failure scenario in a recent release of Firestorm.
