A Result window is usually opened by a script which determines which files are to be shown.
HOWEVER: The files that are actually shown in the result window are determined by any active filtering.
A user has to be aware of that and check to see if all files are shown - and turn off filtering if not.

REQUEST: When a result window is first opened is should open without filtering.

(The user can then turn on filtering if wanted.)

Alternatives:
Allow a script to turn filtering ON/OFF.

The only way around this (in a way) is to read in the result window (filtered) and compare the number of files with
the number of files one wants displayed. If there is a discrepancy one can warn the user.

Currently IMatch has not even built-in functions to disable a filter for result windows. Never requested, never needed. I would need to add that first, including all UI elements, "yes/no" options, documentation and stuff before I can even start implementing app interfaces for this. I would not hold my breath. Let's see how many +1 this gets.
