Renamed art assets not showing new name in search results

I originally posted this bug in July of 2018 but it was never fixed. Trying to better organize my Art Library and stumbled on this bug - if you rename art assets that are copied from Premium Assets, when you search, it is the original name that pops up, not the new name. In the  Art Library , click on  Premium Assets  and expand the  Free Assets  folder. Right click on  01 - Characters  and click  Copy to Library . Click on  My Library  and expand  01 - Characters. The first asset should be  Dead Solider.  Right click the asset and click  Rename Item. Enter  Test Target  as the new name. The new name should be reflected in  My Library. Set the image search type to  Tokens.  In the Search Box, type  Test Target , which is the new name we gave the asset. Observe that when the search results are returned, there is only one item, but its called  Dead Solider. If you click on the asset to open  Folder View , it is listed as  Test Target . The one workaround is to rename the item from the search results itself. Continuing off from step 7:     8. Right click the item with the wrong name and click  Rename Item . Enter  Test Target .     9. Redo the search by clicking on the search box, which should still say  Test Target , and hit enter. Now the item that appears says  Test Target . Why This Matters:  In trying to keep things organized, this bug makes items copied over from purchased or free assets more difficulty to manage, because you will rename items to be easier to find, yet when you use the search box, the names won't match up. This becomes even more frustrating when the default name of the item that shows up in the search is something of little value, like  FP2_10 . Since this bug affects purchased assets, it may cause frustration for people who buy assets, making them less likely to purchase more assets in the future if they can't organize them well.

Hi Boogily Woogily, The forums are primarily for users helping users, to file a bug report with the Devs the best method is to use the Help Center . 
I think that users should know that the search function of the art library simply does not search the display names of the art. This goes beyond being a bug.

I was not saying don't share it with folks. I was saying that if they wanted to file a bug report with the Devs the best method is the Help Center.

A  Help Center Request  gets it to someone who might have the expertise to actually solve the issue, but it's always a good idea to publish problems, and especially solutions.
