Anyone seeing weird search results?

I searched for "dog"

and it yielded these two rows:

Perkins Leblanc Boyd Utah Brunei

Alyce Chavez Bendon Iowa Portugal

I am pretty sure "dog" isn't in either of those rows? What am I missing?

You've got to click settings and display all the columns. "dog" is a substring of the company name. Here's the filtering code; it's just a JavaScript `indexOf`:

Yeeah, that's a little confusing.

In our case, we needed to filter on hidden columns (as we still cared about the data behind the scenes), but I'm thinking that this is something that should be optional.

That got me too. I searched Uni and the 2nd entry had it no where in all the (currently) visible columns. I thought I was going crazy.
"dog" is in the company column - "Dognost" and "Dognosis"
