Summary

The filter results vary depending on the selected view. In List View, the filter results show only individual items. In Document View, the filter results include items, sets, and components, providing a more comprehensive result set.

Resolution

In List View, filters are applied directly to items; structural elements such as sets and components are excluded unless explicitly specified. In Document View, filters are applied within the document hierarchy, and the system preserves structure for context.
 
Document view prioritizes structure, while list view prioritizes strict filtering of items.
