Filtering Selected Pages and Selected Entries or Pages doesn't return expected results

On a Web site I'm using MoreCustomFields with, there are a series of 19 pages in the MT database whose PageTitles all start with "Community."

If I type that string into the filter box of the Selected Pages dialog, I get the following result:

So exactly none of the 19 pages I expect are shown, and I have no meaningful idea how it's finding the others. What is it searching and what is it finding? I'm happy to provide additional information.

Thanks!

Well that's bizarre. Do searches for other terms yield the expected results?

commented

No, oddly, nothing else is returning expected results either. I recently
updated to the latest version of the plugin because I saw the bug report
about broken searches.

I think I've identified the pattern (although it's not clear what the search is returning). Only the first page of 10 results are being filtered, not the full list of results. And I think it's searching into the text or excerpt, not just the title, which is the behavior that I expected.

So if I have a list that looks like

and I type in "Shores", something that does appear on the first list, I get

The word "Shores" does appear on all three of those pages. But the expected behavior is that the filter operates on the whole list, which it isn't (note that there's no navigation). And I wouldn't have expected it to filter anything besides the PageTitle/EntryTitle tag.

This only appears to be an issue with the CustomFields searches. Filtering a list of assets, stock functionality, works fine.

Try version 2.0.7. It will definitely fix the limit of the first 10 results, at least.

How about that. 2.0.7 does appear to have fixed it -- results search into the entire list.

Thanks, Dan. I appreciate it. That's a huge help as my database of pages continues to grow.
