When clicking on Filter the respective dialog is opened with the categories Quick filter, Markets and Recently searched directories.

The figure exemplarily shows the results for "Filter search across all catalogs".When using the option "Filter search across all catalogs" the results during the first loading are completely unspecific, however, depend on the setting under $CADENAS_SETUP/partsol.cfg > FULLTEXTSEARCH > SimilarityFactor. By default, the Standards catalog is prioritized.
