Free assets cannot be searched

Super easy to recreate, in my experience this happens in&nbsp; any browser on any device on any network , though I've only tested on a desktop and a couple laptops (without extensions, incognito, clean cache and cookies etc...). Go to the asset search bar, type the name of a free asset (such as this one I pulled up in these screenshots) and it will return no results.&nbsp; I feel like this used to work several years ago when I first started to use the site but it's been broken for a very long time, the pathing of going to Premium assets &gt; Free assets &gt; and then slowly sifting through 100 slow moving dropdowns is really, really bad.&nbsp; I found several older closed threads discussing this bug. <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/8759182/slug%7D" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/8759182/slug%7D</a> <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/4245557/free-assets-not-appearing-in-token-search/?pageforid=4245557" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/4245557/free-assets-not-appearing-in-token-search/?pageforid=4245557</a> <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/8684965/slug%7D" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/8684965/slug%7D</a> <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/9430158/slug%7D" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/9430158/slug%7D</a> At the very least a super simple workaround like adding an extremely basic wildcard search bar for just the assets tab would be fantastic, it could be placed here for example: Let me know if there are any questions, I'm happy to provide more info as needed or scrub through the forums for more threads about this bug. Thanks!
They changed the search system a few years ago(?) so that it uses a fixed database of search terms based on a snapshot capture of the internet files. There is no dynamic searching of your art library at all. I've encountered this many times in the past. You have to perform a manual search through your own art assets to find what you want.
