SUMMARY Search by similarity (image in this case) will return nothing, not even a "nothing found" message, if the image being searched for is grouped, and that group hasn't been opened. This means if I had no idea which album the image was in, I would not be able to reasonably do my fuzzy search at all. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Have a bunch of images 2. Group them 3. Try to find similar image within the grouped images (finding something other than the 1st one) 4. See "observed result" OBSERVED RESULT Nothing shows up as the results. No "nothing found" message. Absolutely no feedback. This changes if the grouped images is expanded ("show grouped images") in Album view. In that case, the matching image is visible. This however requires knowing which album the image is located in, too. EXPECTED RESULT The fuzzy search should show the matching image, or at least the grouped images the matching image is located in.
