I can't get the grid filter to work at all.  I've read the help multiple times and have tried every setting in Grid>filter but it doesn't find what it should find.
 
While taking notes I came across a source that I think I've already copied into InfoQube.  To check, I tried filtering on a keyword in the source.  The filter found no occurrences in the grid even though I know it appears dozens of times.  I've tried many different keywords to test filtering and I just can't get it to work correctly.
 
1) Many times it returns no hits even though there are dozens of hits in the grids.
2) Other times it returns a random set of hits that represent only a small percentage of actual hits in the grid.
 
Any ideas on what I can be doing wrong?  I want to see only items containing the keyword (items and subitems) and have it currently set to Grid>Column Filter>Filter items at any level +Filter out sub-items.
 
Any ideas on what's going on?

Hi Wayne,
 
Prior to v104 (to be released soon), hidden items are not automatically loaded. They are loaded when you expand the parent item only.
 
To be sure that column filters work, it is important to fully expand the grid first. To do this, Ctrl + 0 or use the new Show Levels dialog  (Item > Sub-item > Show Levels)

Thanks.  I knew that somewhere but for some reason it remained hidden in my brain.  Maybe not a bad idea to add that to the documentation.
 
Fully expanding the grid isn't an option because of the number of items but I have other ways I can accomplish what I want now that I understand what's going on. 
 
I'll be interested to see what your reference to 104 means.  Will be able to filter items that aren't loaded?
