Steam, Windows PC (probably doesn’t matter)

**What you were expecting to happen, and what actually happened:**  
I searched for a class type, specifically “Undead”. I got no results. That should be absolutely the basics for that search.

**How often does this happen? When did it begin happening?**  
All the time.

**Steps to make it happen again**  
Go to Class under “Troops and Teams”, click the filter button, type in “undead”.

Zip. Zero. Nada. Should have shown 2 results.

Have you tried scrolling left? It is a known issue, that, if you do a search when your screen is centered on one of the later classes, it will remain there, and the results will be offscreen.

You need to filter by troop type rather than text string.

Excellent news, thank you. Not sure why the string isn’t valid, either, but there you go.

More like the class’s Troop Type simply isn’t included in the search? Agreed this seems like an obvious omission (albeit redundant with Troop Type search).

Contrast with normal Troops where the Troop Type IS searched (e.g. “Divine” - Paladin is present in results, Troop Type being the only location on its card with that string present).
