Describe the bug

Using the WoW API call C_Container.SetItemSearch("search string") BB doesn't filter.

This worked in AdiBags, and should work in BB too.
It also works with the default bag.

Steps to reproduce

1. Open the bag
2. Run the command in chat: /run C_Container.SetItemSearch("soulbound") soulbound items should be highlighted.

Thanks for the report.

Since we have our own comprehensive search engine, there is no way that I know of to get the parameter passed into SetItemSearch cleanly. The Blizzard event does not return the actual search term, unfortunately. If I discover a way to do this, I'll get it done, but it does seem unlikely right now. I'll ask around to make sure.

I'd say supporting this is kinda fundamental to being a bag replacement addon.

It's fundamentally impossible to support with custom search -- Blizzard does not expose a way to do it.

How about another custom function, like BetterBagsSearch("your string") as a global?

A global would work.

Awesome, I'll add that in soon as I need to do some other work around this anyway :)

It looks like only adibags use the default search. I've tested it with arkinventory, sorted, baganator, bagnon and none works with /run C_Container.SetItemSearch("soulbound").

Yeah that's right. Anything that implements any sort of improvement to the search engine will bypass the built in search constructs, as Blizzard doesn't allow for any sort of modification to their search logic.
