having the same problem with Premier 14.4.0 using Mac OS 10.15.6

Yup same here. Never got on with it.

Really frustrating.

Same issue here. Had the problem in CC 2019 until updating to 13.1, where it seemed to be fixed. Now I'm working on my first project created in CC 2020 and discovered it's broken again. This is truly a basic feature - I don't understand. Time to invest in Da Vinci Resolve Studio, I suppose.

Search bin functionality still unfathomably terrible. It's something so so so basic, yet so so so bad.

I just created a search bin for Tape Name = DAY_X

Bin populates with DAY_Y

No joke. With the 2020 version.

I really can't believe it. After bing under review for 6 months and reports going back more than a year. With what, like a dozen updates in the interim? Really?

This screenshot says it all. WTF. Get your s*** together Adobe. Premiere is becoming a total joke for folks trying to do serious/large projects with it.

I have this issue running the very latest versions and version of macOS. REALLY frustrating and time consuming.

Dear Adobe,

I used to speak very highly about you at many national educational conferences encouraging everyone to use your software.

I'd demo our award-winning online educational products (built entirely from your creative suite/cloud) to large audiences and jaws would drop including mine. I was a kid-at-heart back then that naively trusted and enjoyed creating with you.

Times changed for you circa 2010 as you began abandoning many of your software titles, features within titles (like this search bin in Premiere) and the community of users who made your company a household name.

I warn people about your practices these days - not because you are an exception, but because you've unfortunately joined the many software companies that, as they grow larger, begin to behave with similar disrespect towards their supporting community.

I'm a 25 yr software dev veteran, used most of your titles throughout that time, and in the last 10 years have experienced a huge amount of pain with abandoned features, integrations and promises ...

... and you're charging me $50/month for that?

Please bring back the glory to your name and consider reaching out to me to learn more about what I mean.

Based on my last 10 years experience with you, I doubt you'll take me up on that offer.

Yes, I'm half attempting reverse psychology on you but also half expecting it won't make a difference either way - but ...

... may you surprise and humble me :-)

Your once zealous partner,

I had the same issue and was able to fix it by resetting my preferences in premiere. To reset preferences: close premiere then select the premiere icon on your desktop while holding the option key. Select "open" while still holding the option key and you will then be prompted to reset your preferences.

Disappearance of filter is a HUGE efficiency hit for me. I'm working on a documentary and need to be able to find all these clips that I carefully selected and logged based on the documented availability of that feature. Please prioritize fixing this.

Adobe is playing games. Search Box is still not working correctly in v13.1. But of course there are more 'new features' while crippling and breaking old 'critical features' like search.

With this latest release 13.1, it has been said they say they have fixed 103 bugs but if you go here (Adobe's bugs fixed page) they don't list what those bugs are: https://helpx.adobe.com/ca/premiere-pro/kb/fixed-issues.html

Super lame Adobe... but it fits with the path you are on.

I'm having this same issue, and have been having it for months, maybe over a year I can't remember. I called Adobe tech support and did a screen share with the technician. He saw exactly the problem I was having and told me it was a known issue. So now what? I've called, and I've voted to have it recognized but how do we actually get it looked at seriously? This is a huge sticking point with my workflow because I'm editing a web series with dozens of episodes and consequently hundreds of clips. Clips I've spent lots of time keywording and now I can't sort to find them when I need them most. I'm paying for creative cloud for a professional product, but it doesn't work right. Is it not worth the time and money to fix? Does Adobe care? Are you listening to these comments?

It may be fixed in 13.1. Been testing it out a bit today and so far so good. Fingers crossed.

13.0.3 build 9 and still a problem for me. Gives no results all. So frustrating.

Yup. I've also got this issue. I've done all the mentioned solves, but none have resulted in a fix.

The Find feature (Cmd + F) will find what I'm searching for, but not filter it so those files are the only files I can see. The Filter Bin Content won't find anything. It actually hides everything in the project except for other bins. These visible bins do not match the search parameters, files inside them do match the search, but they won't display through the search. The Search Bins feature produces empty search bins, even though files exist that match the requested parameters in all of these scenarios.

Searching through the Media Browser functions, but that's no help, cause I want to search the metadata that I've logged, not the files on the drive.

I'm running Premiere Pro 13.03 on a MacBook Pro with 10.14.3.

I'm having the same issue here... (Premier Pro CC 2019 v13.0.3 on Windows 10)

I see so many people saying they're ready to move to a different software but quite frankly if I'm paying a monthly fee for software "because it constantly needs to be updated and developed" then why the **** isn't it being updated and having known issues fixed??

This has only happened to me in one project so far but it's the strangest thing.

For some reason, it's only filtering clips from random folders. I tried deleting the media cache but with no success. Super frustrating, of course this is the project I spent most of my time logging on.

I tried the filter function in a different project and it works just fine. I can't imagine there are any corrupt files in this project though, it's fairly fresh.

Adobe folks are you listening? This is a major problem. Not one clip is coming up with the search/filter bar

Same issue for me on Windows 10, Premiere version 13.0.2 build 38. I am searching for terms that are definitely in description fields but get no results. Doing the same in the search bin tool only returns a handful results. I am SO SICK of indexing and searching issues. I don't understand why this keeps breaking.

Same problem, here, any new info on fix?

I have been creatively handicapped by this also. If anyone knows how to export clips and their corresponding keywords from Premiere to Resolve please share. I'd just ship in a heartbeat.

I too have this problem, I am about to update Premiere - hopefully it will fix the issue.
