Hi all,

When searching for items from an order in one’s WLs, if the item in the WL has
N/A colour, and if the corresponding item in the order has a colour, then the
WL doesn’t appear in the results.

Example: WL has Plate 1x1 in colour N/A.
If you search in a store, you’ll be shown all the lots for a Plate 1x1, in any
colour.
If you use EasyBuy or Auto-select, a colour will be picked.
Then, if you buy a Plate 1x1 in a colour that is not N/A (which happens 99.99%
of the time), when you try to Apply the Order to your WLs, the Plate 1x1 in N/A
is found/proposed, but when you then search your order in your WLs, the Plate
1x1 in N/A in your WL isn’t found/shown.

First, I seem to remember it worked before.  Anyone else?

Then, it’s counter-intuitive relatively to how the “reverse” searches, searching
a WL in stores or using EasyBuy or Auto-select, work, and it’s not how the “other”
search, Apply Order, works.

So, bug?  Feature?  Who cares?

It’s a strict equivalence, so not a bug, but definitely a suggestion I would
back since I started using this time saving feature when sorting an order’s contents
into Wanted Lists.
