ghost filter status message in find list

Post by yusef88 »

in browse list, you can know how many items hidden by ghost filter but in find list there is no indication if results are hidden by the filter

I see the ghost filter indication also in the find list. It only disappears when returning to cached search results, and that is okay.

hi and thanks for response
actually, I got two search results (hidden by ghosts filter) so why ghost filter tell me that there 417 items hidden by ghost filter? and why there is 47 items also hidden while find list has two results only?

The 417 items hidden by ghost filter were not even tested against the search criteria. So this information does not tell you much (and it certainly does not mean that you would see all those items in the search results when you turn off the ghost filter). I could also say "Some items might be hidden by ghost filter", but for other (many?) users this would even be more satisfying I think.
