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  Devin Token Pack 01  and click  Copy to Library . Click on  My Library  and expand  Devin Token Pack 01. The first item should be  Dead Solider.  Right click the asset and click  Rename Item. Enter  Temp Soldier  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  Temp Soldier , 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  Temp Soldier. 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  Temp Soldier.     9. Redo the search by clicking on the search box, which should still say  Temp Soldier , and hit enter. Now the item that appears says  Temp Soldier. 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.
Hey Keith C. - Thank you for the awesome reproduction steps! I went ahead and notified dev about this issue again. I'll let you know as soon as we have more information. Hope all your adventures are going well! :)
