Items filter improperly when searching Admin/Settings

Hi guys,

When you do a search under “Admin/Settings” it used to provide you with a list of categories with the number of items in each category that match. Now when doing the same search it initially does this but within 2 seconds suddenly filters everything to “All” and removes the categories- this makes it difficult to determine which area a setting is in requiring us to search every time we change a setting.

To quickly reproduce, do a search for the letter “a”

As you can see you intitally see the categoes as expected… However wait 2-3 seconds and it automatically changes to look like:

For longer searches (for example “newuser”) this change occurs too fast to even determine what section the setting is in. @Bill_S was looking for these settings and still cannot determine the correct category so has to do a search every time he wants to update one.

we will change it so it “defaults” to all when searching but still exposes the breakdown per section, old way it worked was very confusing

@sam Is something like this what you meant?
