Searching premium assets

I've found a few topics related to this, but just checking as it seems quite bizarre. Can we not search for premium assets we own? I've selected 'everything' and it finds tokens from the web, not from my premium assets. Surely this is user error.

It always returns web search items.  You should also be getting results from your purchases, though they usually load last.  When I search, the fastest (and top) results will be from my library, and below that web images get displayed.  Between those 2 lists are where the marketplace items show, but they take longer to load.  I think that is partly because it doesn't just search your purchases, but will also show a few results from the marketplace (if any) that you don't own.  So, is it not searching for you at all, or are you not giving it enough time? I guess there is one more thing I will bring up.  I'm not sure how the search interacts with how the marketplace creators label their creations.  I'm not sure that the title is actually what gets searched, because some of my items don't seem to come up that way.  Maybe the label we see is separate from hidden search term identifiers, but I'm not sure how that works since I'm not a marketplace creator to know how all that works.  Some items I have don't come up under the search terms I expect to work, so if that is the case for whatever you are searching for, I'm not sure if it is a Roll20 problem or a marketplace creator backend labeling problem (or both somehow).
Thanks for your response. I assume it's the metadata as some things don't come up whether in my library or just in purchased items. It's strange that the search doesn't treat the displayed name as a search term. If marketplace creators can't rely on the displayed name in search, that for me is a Roll20 defect.
