Description Lars Vogel CLA 2021-12-09 07:43:59 EST 
Multiple users are confused by our new default filters from Bug 571758. See Bug 571758 and referred bugs. 

I think it would help if the popup indicates that filters are active, e.g. by another entry in the list which gives this info with for example "Some results are filtered because package filters are" which allows to jump to the filters.

Related by not that important:

If no filters are active the same place could be used to tell the user that filters could be added to make it easier to discover this feature.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
