Has the BrickOwl Search system changed?
We use the "Personal Note" field to store the location of parts, as I assume most stores do?
Until recently we could perform an "Inventory" search and type the location wrapped in double quotes to list all parts in a given location. For example:
"00-A-00"
This week we've noticed that if we "move" parts to a new location and then perform a search, the parts continue to list in both the old and new locations, so:
If we move the parts in "00-A-00" to say "00-B-00" the parts will continue to list in searches of both locations.
We've waited 30-60 minutes but there is no correction. We've used a second device to ensure its not a local caching issue.
Over time as parts move around this will become a bigger and bigger problem.
@Lawrence - please can you advise if any change have been made in this area recently? Is there a way to search for parts based on the "Personal Note" field any more please?

Asking this with my IT head on, what happens if you use the filter on the Manage Inventory page to find them?
As a side note, I've never used the double-quotes thing, I didn't know about it, I've always been able to search for personal notes in my inventory without them.
Assuming this is by design. The result is slightly erroneous results (for me at least) for a few hours but isn't a big problem functionality wise (Windows 11 using the Edge browser).
