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” ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/5/4/540e6e1eb7d4b1b18d2951d342cc2d0c6b2ce84a.png) As you can see you intitally see the categoes as expected… However wait 2-3 seconds and it automatically changes to look like: ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/6/8/688c6c5ad5c835fbb711928dc6bb7413506f040d.png) 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 ---
